Product Description

Neil Gaiman's Journal, February 10, 2007

I read the first paragraph and was hooked. A sixty-three page
eighteenth century novel in the grand manner about a waltzing mouse. Of
course.


Book Description

A story full of drama, word play, and gentle satire on literary conventions, making it a delightful read for children and adults. In the first edition, the book was described as "Mr. Noel Langley's epic pastiche in the grand classic heroic manner, wherein he pays glowing homage to the nice sensibility and decorous passions that are the special elixir of the artistic temperament, whether it inhabit Heathcliff, Manon Lescaut, the Mock Turtle or Desbarollda the Waltzing Mouse." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very witty!, 6 Feb 2009
I disvovered this after my daughter and I finished reading the equally wonderful 'Land of green ginger' by the same author and illustrator. It's very funny with its faux 18th century language. The mice are very class conscious! And of course the illustrations are beautiful. My daughter was 7 when we read it and loved it. But I think older children would enjoy it too.
