Reissue (1976, McGraw-Hill)
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Paul Galdone. On a trip to Mexico, mouse detective Basil solves the cases of the Counterfeit Cheese, the missing Mousa Lisa, and the kidnapping of Dr. Dawson, as well as outwitting his arch-nemesis, Ratigan. Galdone's classic grayscale illustrations featuring plump mice are unfortunately often out of step with the old-fashioned narrative. Mexican characters are as developed as the Brits, though there are few cultural markers.
