In Faber’s first lift-the-flap book, the beloved Macavity the Mystery Cat gets a brand new adventure.
Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin;
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
He's ... Uh oh!
Macavity's not there!
Inspired by Eliot's classic, unforgettable rhyme and with wonderful illustrations by cartoonist and illustrator Arthur Robins, Macavity's not there! will be a delight to share and explore.

About T. S. Eliot
Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965) was born in St. Louis, Missouri, of an old New England family. He was educated at Harvard and did graduate work in philosophy at the Sorbonne, Harvard, and Merton College, Oxford. He settled in England in 1915, where he was for a time a schoolmaster and a bank clerk, and eventually literary editor for the publishing house Faber & Faber, of which he later became a director.
He published his first book of poems in 1917.
He founded and, during the seventeen years of its publication (1922-1939), edited the exclusive and influential literary journal Criterion. In 1927, Eliot became a British citizen and about the same time entered the Anglican Church.
Eliot received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1948.
