Illustrated by
Piet Grobler.
With the rhythms of a traditional tale, this is an original story of a little mouse and her hermit guardian. When it comes time for the mouse to marry, the two set out to find "the strongest being on earth," who turns out to be another mouse. The fanciful illustrations, with their delicate images of flora and fauna, will entice young and old.
