Cats in Their Gardens

Summary: Gardens and their joys
Review: Page Dickey has compiled a series of visits to gardens of various types and climes and demonstrates in this lovely little gentle book that not only does she know her horticulture, but also she has a fine photographer's eye for the quirky personalities of cats. In a matter a few pages, Dickey acquaints us with the 'owner cats' of the various gardens and has captured whimsical and languorous moments in the lives of these felines blessed with gardens of great beauty. Each garden (and cat!) visit is accompanied by editorial comments that range form humorous to informative to a bit cute. This is one of those 'perfect gift' ideas for you and for friends who love their gardens and the feline guardians of the property. The fact that this book is available in the best gardening stores speaks highly for Dickey's reputation among horticulturists! A fine gift idea for the holidays. Grady Harp, November 2004

Summary: If you love cats or gardens, you'll love this book
Review: Some of the most picturesque gardens in the U.S. and abroad are the settings for these great cat photographs. Felines have a way of knowing which backgrounds will best set off their charm so these candid pictures are wonderful. Short essays about each setting and the cats who patrol are just right. I have a fair sized collection of cat books but the pictures and text in this little volume are better than any on my shelf. This will be my gift book of choice for the cat lovers among my friends. By the way--Amazon, please note--the author's name is Page Dickey, given name Page.
