His background as a veterinarian and storyteller shines through in the vivid and accurate depictions of animal behavior and emotions in the book.

I highly recommend "Shireen and her Friends: Pages from the Life of a Persian Cat" to all animal lovers, children, and adults alike. Gordon Stables' delightful tale of friendship and companionship will surely warm the hearts of readers and leave them with a newfound appreciation for the unique bond between humans and animals.

Dr. Gordon Stables (1840–1910) was a Scottish-born author and physician, widely recognized for his contribution to children's literature and his love for the sea and animals, particularly reflected in his writing. Stables completed his medical education at Aberdeen University and served as a naval surgeon. This maritime career greatly influenced his literary work, often weaving nautical themes into his tales. Outside his medical and naval life, he was an enthusiastic advocate of outdoor life and health, encouraging youth to partake in adventures and exploration, themes that often surfaced in his books. Among his most beloved works, 'Shireen and her Friends: Pages from the Life of a Persian Cat' (1894) stands out as a delightful narrative that showcases his affection for animals through a Victorian period perspective. Stables' literary style is characterized by a combination of sentimental animal stories and bold adventure narratives, appealing to the imagination of both young and old readers. His comprehensive oeuvre, spreading over 130 books, also includes titles such as 'Wild Adventures Round the Pole' (1883) and 'Cruise of the Land-Yacht Wanderer' (1886), underscoring his versatility and ability to capture the Victorian sense of exploration and innocence. Stables' works remain not only as reflections of 19th-century values and attitudes towards children, animals, and adventure but also as enduring examples of engaging and spirited storytelling.
