Inscribed on the flyleaf: 'For Sylvia Townsend Warner, with warm Christmas wishes from H.A. Rappaport, Brooklyn, N.Y., who was charmed by this book. Xmas, 1954'. Rappaport was a New York book-dealer and collector, who reports a natural response to this collection of feline fairy-tales. Beneath this inscription, the author inscribes the book to her friend: 'For Pat Howard, from Sylvia Townsend Warner - who hopes you will be [i.e., charmed] too. March 1969'. The latter recipient was the wife of Michael Howard at Jonathan Cape, with whom Warner had recently published her acclaimed biography of T.H. White (Pat Howard among those acknowledged). One of the key texts within modernist feline literature - a small category.
