The Nine Lives of A Cat: A Tale of Wonder

THE NINE LIVES OF A CAT A TALE OF WONDER BY CHARLES BENNETT. AUTHOR OF “SHADOWS” LONDON GRIFFITH AND FARRAN. CORNER OF S T PAULS’ CHURCHYARD. 1860.
HIS tale of wonder is told for children; with which view, it has been carefully designed and very nicely printed.
For some time past, it has arrived at the dignity of a popular Nursery Tale in the Author’s family; and it is hoped it will merit the same good fortune elsewhere.
It will be worth while explaining, that the circle in each page is made to represent some object in connection with the story; and, that as some of them have proved rather puzzling, to Juvenile admirers has been left the task of “finding them out.”
London , 1859.
