In ancient Japan, a struggling artist is angered when his
housekeeper brings home a tiny white cat he can barely afford to
feed. But when the village's head priest commissions a painting of
the Buddha for a healthy sum, the artist softens toward the animal
he believes has brought him luck.
According to legend, the proud and haughty cat was denied the
Buddha's blessing for refusing to accept his teachings and pay him
homage. So when the artist, moved by compassion for his pet,
includes the cat in his painting, the priest rejects the work and
decrees that it must be destroyed. It seems the artist's life is
ruined as well -- until he is rewarded for his act of love by a
Buddhist miracle.
This timeless fable has been a classic since its first
publication in 1930, and this beautifully reillustrated edition
brings the magic and wonder of the tale to a new generation of
readers.
