Customer Reviews

A "classic"

1904 somewhat difficult English parody of Omar Khayydam's "Rubaiyat", so I didn't "get it" at first being too impatient. Only 3 dozen cute gentle drawings and poetic license, but I put it down for months! But now finished and reread thoroughly,.I say it's an acquired taste: a keeper or special gift. What is "rubaiyat" and where is the Arabic original?

Captivating

I had read this parody of Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat as a childand dearly loved it. I finally found a copy of it and my memory hasserved me well. Oliver Herford's cleverly written tale of an adorable Persian kitten's misadventures will enthrall any cat lover. END
