Benson, E. F.: Two Cat Stories (shorts). v1. 19 Sep 2017
Two Cat Stories by Edward Frederic Benson (1867–1940)
These stories were published in 1920. Text is in the public domain in countries where copyright is “Life + 70”¯ or less, and in the USA. -------------- Edward Frederic “E. F.” Benson was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist and short story writer. He is now known mainly for his “Mapp and Lucia” novels, and to a somewhat lesser extent, for his short “spook” stories about the supernatural. * * * * The two delightful pieces presented here, although classified as “stories” in the collection “The Countess of Lowndes Square,” seem rather to be memoirs. With charm and gentle humor, they relate the lives and times of several cats who ruled the household of the narrator. An excerpt: Spoiler:
