Product Description
Review
'The real charm of the book is its extravagant illustrations featuring cats, stars, gemstones and flowers associated with each sign.' NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE JOURNAL 'Beautifully illustrated.' WALES ON SUNDAY
Product Description
Lesley Anne Ivory's new book combines her dual interests in astrology and cats, while the theme provides her with a wealth of imagery suggested by the rich pictorial symbolism of the zodiac. Each star sign is depicted in a beautiful painting and accompanied by a text which explains the astrological influences as they affect both humans and their feline friends. Numerous zodiacal devices decorate each painting: images of suns, moons, stars and elements, together with related attributes such as gemstones, flowers, fruits, herbs, spices and colours, and these are summarized in an illustrated 'key'. Lesley's devotion to her subjects and the rich colouring and extraordinary precision of the paintings combine to make this her most original and visually spectacular book to date.

It isn't essential to be interested in astrology to enjoy StarCats. In fact, I suppose it's not even essential to love cats; though it's unlikely you'll buy StarCats unless you do.
It's just that here is a book, exquisitely illustrated with paintings which are exceptional in their quality and sensitivity. The cats themselves are treated in a way that no other illustrator can equal, set in the most rich and detailed backgrounds possible.
This is a 'must own' for cat lovers or those you just appreciate the very best in illustrations.

Lesley Anne Ivory is well known as a wonderful illustrator, but with this superb illustrated book of cats and their star signs she has created a brilliant collection of cat illustrations. Simply magical! She pays attention to the finest detail , and each of the star signs are well researched with their related gems, flowers and colours. A "must buy" for cat lovers, definitely!
