Cats Dogs and Feathered Gods: A Poetic Journey Through History

By K.V. Martins

Think poetry and history are boring? Think again. A collection of 48 poems about kelpies, Egyptian intrigue, witch hunters, Roman banquets and much more.

Find yourself sailing on a Portuguese galleon bound for Lisbon, watch the ancient library of Alexandria burn, and discover who could be trusted in ancient Egypt. Go on a journey through the cloth markets of Constantinople, to Helen's Troy and the steppes of Mongolia. Along the way, meet Leonardo da Vinci, Rene Descartes, Charles Darwin, Albrecht Durer, as well as the cats, dogs, and feathered gods of the ancient world.
