Illustrated by
Eric Rohmann.
Lowry meets Graham Oakley (and Jan Karon) in this heartwarming fantasy about the mice of Saint Bartholemew's church. Mouse Hildegarde is our guide to the community, its joys and concerns like any other but with the perpetual fear of cats, the exterminator, and the Altar Guild ladies. Lowry's light, droll tone is just right, and Rohmann's spot illustrations have their own wit.
