Publisher's Synopsis
"According to the decree of Heaven, there once lived in the Persian city of Kerman a cat like unto a dragon-a longsighted cat who hunted like a lion; a cat with fascinating eyes and long whiskers and sharp teeth. Its body was like a drum, its beautiful fur like ermine skin. Nobody was happier than this cat, neither the newly-wedded bride, nor the hospitable master of the house when he looks round on the smiling faces of his guests. "
