A sly spark in the London fog, a question that lingers long after the last page turns. All (Frightfully Unofficial) About An Old Friend Of Mine; What He Most Probably Was. What He Most Certainly Will Be, And Who Has Done This? Why The Cat. unlocks a strange, near-miraculous mix of wit, suspicion, and uncanny presence. This volume gathers Thomas C. Gash's entertaining miscellany into a coherent, companionable feast for general readers and students of humour alike. It blends humorous fiction with sly, Poe-inspired wit and Twain-like satire, all curated in a Victorian voice that evokes gaslit streets and nooks of genteel doubt. The cat motif weaves through anecdotes and essays, creating an atmosphere where friendship and suspicion thicken into delightful mystery. The prose is approachable, precise, and alive with character, inviting readers to both laugh and linger on what might lie beneath the surface of ordinary life. A note on literary and historical significance: the work sits at an intersection of Victorian style and modern sensibility, offering a rare glimpse of social observation, speculative humour, and the kind of sharp, humane satire that resonates across eras. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
