Cats and Carols: From The Publisher The Christmas season has inspired many of the magnificent cat paintings created by Lesley Anne Ivory. In Cats and Carols she has returned to this much-loved theme with a superb and entirely new collection depicting members of her feline family in settings relating to well-known Christmas carols. In these richly textured scenes, devotees of Lesley's work will recognize old friends such as Agneatha and Octopussy, and will be enchanted to meet her kitten Angel. As always, Lesley's devotion to her cherished subjects is apparent in the striking realism of the traditional motifs, Christmas trees and festive decorations among which her cats repose, invitingly evoking the warm nostalgic glow of Christmas firesides and family gatherings. Accompanying the paintings, this sumptuous volume contains the words of the carols, each superbly embellished with decorative initial letters, also specially devised by the artist. The carols featured are: Angels We Have Heard on High; While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night; Three Kings of Orient; O Little Town of Bethlehem; See, Amid the Winter's Snow; Hark! The Herald Angels Sing; Ding! Dong! Merrily on High; Silent Night, Holy Night; God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen; Good King Wenceslas Looked Out; In the Bleak Mid-Winter; Away in a Manger; It Came Upon the Midnight Clear; O Come, All ye Faithful; and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. |
