About this book

Cat and Dog, or Memoirs of Puss and the Captain is a Victorian children's animal story by Julia Charlotte Maitland (1808-1864), the English writer and educator best known for her Letters from Madras, the lively first-hand record of life in 1830s and 1840s British India that her daughter published anonymously in 1843. Maitland produced a small body of children's books in her later years drawing on the animal-narrator tradition that ran from Sarah Trimmer's Fabulous Histories through Anna Sewell's later Black Beauty. Cat and Dog tells the story of a household pet cat and a dog from their own perspective, with the moral and educational reflections on kind treatment of animals that the early Victorian middle-class household expected of nursery reading. The book belongs to the wider tradition of Victorian humane-education writing for children. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
