SEARLE, Ronald (illustrator). De Drôles de Chats. Paris Fayard. 1967

4to.; publisher’s laminated white pictorial boards, illustrated to both covers; pp. [42]; with 21 full-page coloured plates of comic cats; a very good copy indeed, without ownership inscription, small bruising to head of spine and a tiny dint to top edge of upper cover.

First French edition, published simultaneously in English by Dobson Books Ltd.  Searle’s comic cats express a range of complex emotions.
