Thomas Gray in Copenhagen
A sequel to the widely successful biThomas Gray, Philosopher/i/b biCat/i/b, Philip J. Davis' latest continues the adventures of the internationally popular feline and friend. Could it be that Hans Christian Andersen - who wrote so lovingly of inchworms and ugly ducklings - was an unrepentant despiser of cats? That's the rumor that the philosophical feline, Thomas Gray, and cohort, Cambridge don Lucas Fysst, (whose last name doesn't rhyme with "fist") are determined to snuff out. In Copenhagen to attend a philosophers' convention, they go on the hunt for a missing Andersen manuscript that will set the record straight. A whimsically written and illustrated tale - part history, part parody, and all fun.brDavis is Professor Emeritus of Applied Mathematics at Brown University and author of bNo Way: Essays on the Impossible/b.
