The Mouse of Amherst

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Claire A. Nivola. Emmaline, a white mouse, takes up residence in the wainscoting of Emily Dickinson's bedroom, discovering a kindred soul as well as her own talent for penning poetry. Mouse and "Myth," as the townspeople of Amherst called Dickinson, share their verse back and forth; in Emmaline's writings Spires cleverly mimics Dickinson's style. Fanciful line drawings illustrate this small, charming introduction to the work of a great poet.
