Christopher Mouse: The Tale of a Small Traveler

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Patrick Benson. In literary prose ("my thirst had become so strong that I could think of little else except the need to satisfy it") a poetry-composing mouse relates the episodes of his life: his birth and sale to a pet shop, his first owner, falling into the wrong hands, escaping, and finding a new owner for a happy ending. Black-and-white sketches illustrate this gently refined tale.
