Book Overview
New Statesman’s Children’s Book of the Year, now in paperback: an exquisite story within a story, as told by a mouse to a cat who wants to eat him!
“Beguiling . . . utterly delightful.” — Books for Keeps
“A classic fairy tale with beautiful illustrations.” — The Week Junior
“A delicious treat.” — Guardian
Brie the mouse is caught in the paws of Gorgonzola the cat, facing certain death. How can he survive? Well, the cheese shop where they live is a source of great inspiration. The cheese labels tell stories of a world beyond their four walls…
So Brie starts telling a riveting story of princesses who don’t want to be married, cats that can turn into panthers, a magical realm deep within a mountain, and an extraordinary quest to break a spell.
Children will be dazzled by the extraordinarily detailed illustrations. This promises to be a book to treasure forever.
