The Princess Mouse: A Tale of Finland

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Leonid Gore. Mikko has found only a friendly mouse for a bride, while his older brother is to marry a nice-looking farm girl. The mouse, however, is really a princess, bewitched by a spell that can be broken only if one brother wishes to marry her while the other wishes to kill her. Illustrations that manage to be both elegant and amusing accompany this well-told tale. Brief source note included.
