THE SECRETS OF
THE SACRED CAT OF BURMA
by Simone Poirier and Gisele Barnay
Translated by Alwyn Hill
This is the early history of the mysterious Birman, from its first
appearance at the first Paris cat show in 1926 accompanied by its
strange legend, through the founding of the breed and then its
devastation during
the horrors of the Second World War, to its restoration from the
handful that survived by the use of other breeds. It reads like
a novel but is packed with information and anecdotes and many
illustrations of the
historical cats whose names appear behind many of today's Birmans.
