Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

The quintessential tale of animal-led heroics, this is an adventurous tale of a brave young mouse that reminds readers that no matter the size of the body, it’s the strength of the heart that counts.

This is the story of Desperaux Tilling, a mouse in love with music, stories, and a princess named Pea. It is also the story of Miggery Sow, a slow-witted serving girl with a simple, impossible wish. These characters are about to embark on a journey that will lead them down into a horrible dungeon, up into a glittering castle, and ultimately, into each other's lives.

And what happens then?

Listeners, it is your destiny to find out.
