Comments: First American edition, near fine. The Ship's Cat was written by Richard Adams, author of the famous novel Watership Down. This delightful volume is a narrative poem about an anthropomorphic Elizabethan ship's cat - "...a swashbuckling crew member of the English privateer ship Alcestis." After an attack by Spanish seamen, the cat and crew are captured - and the adventure begins. Along the way, Ship's Cat encounters Sir Francis Drake, finds treasure, and makes his way home to the knighted by Queen Elizabeth 1! The illustrations are glorious - thirteen full-color, full-page illustrations of gallant ships and the pageantry of Elizabethan England.
