description -
Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (1939) is a collection of whimsical light poems by T. S. Eliot about feline psychology and sociology, published by Faber and Faber. It serves as the basis for Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1981 musical Cats.
Eliot wrote the poems in the 1930s and included them, under his assumed name "Old Possum", in letters to his godchildren.
