Published on: 02 February 2017 Author: Catriona Wightman
Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot has been a firm favourite ever since it was first released over 75 years ago - and now the infamous Jellicle Cats have been brought to life in a brand new book.
Arthur Robins has illustrated T.S. Eliot's poem 'The Song of the Jellicles' with a series of vibrant drawings in his new release Jellicle Cats and we have a sneak peek at some of the pictures right here.
So have a look at our gallery below and get ready to dance the night away with the black-and-white cats at the Jellicle Ball...

This is the fourth time Arthur's illustrated the stars of Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats - he's already released books that made us see Macavity, Mr Mistoffelees and Skimbleshanks in a whole new light.
And now you can join in the fun by reading (or singing!) along with Jellicle Cats, which is released by Faber & Faber today (2 February).
