Lilian Jackson Braun Quote
Apple barn’s better’n a pig barn, they chortled over coffee mugs in the cafés. After four years they had become accustomed to the sight of Mr. Q’s oversize moustache with its melancholy droop. They no longer questioned the unorthodox W in the spelling of Qwilleran. And most of them now accepted the fact that the middle-aged divorced bachelor chose to live alone—with two cats!

About Lilian Jackson Braun
Lilian Jackson Braun (June 20, 1913 – June 4, 2011) was an American writer known for her light-hearted series of The Cat Who... mystery novels. The Cat Who books features newspaper journalist Jim Qwilleran and his two Siamese cats, Koko (short for Kao K'o Kung) and Yum Yum, first in an unnamed midwestern American city and then in the fictitious small town of Pickax located in Moose County "400 miles north of everywhere".
