Kittens in the Sun

By Hans W. Silvester

Book Overview

Now in paperback, Kittens in the Sun is full of "enchanting full-color images that capture the essence of everything feline" (Cat Fancy). Once again, photographer Hans Silvester offers us a transporting look at the feisty four-pawed critters of the Greek Isles and their whitewashed paradise. Silvester is never more at home than when training his camera on feline bliss Mediterranean style, and here it just gets better as he narrows his focus to the smaller and fuzzier members of the family. Atlantic Monthly has described his work as "the finest pictures ever taken of cats."

Customer Reviews

If you love cats, these books are for you

I recommend all of Hans Silvester's books of cat photography. You get lots of photos and relatively little text, so they are perfect for those of us who just want to look at interesting, artistic photos of cats. Plus you get a glimpse of life in the Greek islands, so you can pretend you are enriching your mind while you ooh and aah at the images of furry felines. And if you read the text, you actually will learn about the cats and the people who share the islands with them.

A Love for Cats
