The author of The Grapes of Ralph has produced an irresistible combination of words and images that brings Jones the cat vividly to life. In The Book of Jones, Steadman captures the special grace of cats and the strange power that they possess to enchant us. Line art throughout.
Customer Review: A great cat, a great artist
Jones was the cat of Hunter S. Thompson. Ralph Steadman, the artist for many of Thompson's books, was at his house on numorous occasions and made various scetches of the cat. After jones had been dead for some time and Ralph famous, this slim volume was published as a tribute. What can I say? I like cats and I like Ralph Steadman's art. It works for me.
Customer Review: Appeal lost on me
As one who loves good literature and cats, I was eager to own this book after reading the reviews. I was disappointed with each and every page! I found the story and the 'characters' lacking both depth and interest. I am not familiar with the author, but closed the book wishing he had allowed someone else to put his sketches to word.
