Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats
by T.S. Eliot (Faber & Faber, 1939); audiobook read by Miranda Richardson (Faber & Faber, 2015)
A slim volume of Dr Seuss-like (though inherently more literary) poems for children, memorable more for the gloriously absurd cat names and the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical these inspired than for the poetry itself. Miranda Richardson’s reading is decent if sometimes off-tempo.
