A photographer who intuitively understands why we like animals so much, Rachael McKenna—a former protégé of Anne Geddes—turns her lens toward her adopted home of France and the charismatic cats that inhabit this picturesque backdrop. In the charming color photographs here, cats brimming with personality are languidly strolling in a quaint village, sleeping in the sunlight, or regally perched on the doorstep of an elegant château. McKenna also offers personal insights on France, and the book includes engaging quotes from such French cat lovers and literary greats as Charles Baudelaire, Jules Verne, and Cardinal Richelieu.
