The White Cat and the Monk: A Retelling of the Poem “Pangur Bán” by Jo Ellen Bogart
2.0
Read for librarian book group
There is apparently a poem a monk wrote about the white cat who came into his cell and their mutual search for things? I'd never heard of this poem and wouldn't have minded some form of it being reprinted in full at the end of the book. The illustrations were too simple for the majority of the book--the rendering of the cat I found particularly unfortunate--though they shined on the illuminated manuscript pages.
