Happy Robert Burns Day (Scotland) !

In this post, Zeke will examine the presentation of Scottish poet Robert Burns’ works (1759 – 1796) in an 1870 vintage book titled: “The Illustrated Family Burns” on this Robert Burns Day in Scotland.

The Illustrated Family Burns

The Illustrated Family Burns

My literary cat Zeke, editor in chief, decided upon this issue. as Christine and Spike are celebrating in Scotland today. The book has over 700 pages and 100 illustrations, some of which shall be presented here. This particular copy and cover I was unable to find on the internet. The publisher was Belford, Clarke, & Co., Chicago and New York.  Zeke’s favourite Burns poem is “To a Mouse”.

Zeke preferred to post the illustrations for you. He decided not to post any grim, or sad prints, so we concentrate on animals and happy times. There are, of course, a few cats depicted. See illustrations and more!

Cougar Mania Re-edited

“Cougar Mania” celebrates our 9th Anniversary!  You see, 9 years ago Christine and I  both started blogging at the same time!  I saw Christine’s blog and bravely and fatefully asked if she would like to see my blog.  She did. We became blogging friends and correspondents, and more!

“Cougar Mania” was an early post I wrote where Christine wrote her first comment.   She was my only follower and hers was my only comment!  I backed up the old blog before deleting it, so it is only on my computer.  Reading this again, seems like only yesterday that I wrote the post.
