This lavishly illustrated watercolor-and-ink gift book is infused with timeless pieces of Chinese philosophy and literature that combines the creativity of The Tao of Pooh with the beauty of calligraphic art. Artist and author Kwong Kuen Shan's paintings portray intricately rendered cats in a wide variety of situations and settings-from the garden to the pond to the windowsill-each one of which brings to life the specific Taoist or Confucian text which accompanies it. 42 four-color illustrations throughout.
