Look what the cat dragged in from the Middle Ages - a curious collection of the most wonky, wide-eyed and weirdly drawn cats ever to grace the margins of history. Medieval Cats is the purr-fect gift for cat lovers , history buffs and anyone who delights in the unintentionally hilarious world of medieval illustration . Between 500 and 1500 AD, monks and manuscript artists tried - and often failed - to capture the elegance of their feline muses. The result? Hundreds of gloriously misshapen cats that stare, stretch and scowl their way through centuries of art. Brimming with extraordinary felines , cheeky commentary and a hefty dose of cattitude , Medieval Cats celebrates these delightfully terrible depictions in all their glory - proof that humans have been obsessed with cats for more than a thousand years.
