Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot

5.0

I have always wanted to read the work that inspired the musical. And I am so glad that I did! I could see how the songs came to be, as I was singing the poetry in my head. Overall, the only issue I had had to do with some language used to describe Asian individuals. I believe this was "appropriate of the time" but it is still racist. So do keep that in mind before delving in. Aside from that, I really loved the poetry! It's silly.
