truepennyMissed algonquin cat. I said I was bleary.
Algonquin Cat is a children's-book-suitable-for-adults by Val Schaffner, copiously illustrated by Hilary Knight. I have loved it now for over twenty years, an honor shared only by The Wind in the Willows and Winnie-the-Pooh. And it's all about Shakespeare, too.

Aside from the fact, you know, that these are small furry animals ... who wear clothes ... and mess about in boats ... and ...
Oh bother. I give up.

I have profaned one of the innocent joys of my own childhood, and I feel okay with that.
