New Statesman’s Children’s Book of the Year, now in paperback: an exquisite story within a story, as told by a mouse to a cat who wants to eat him!
‘Beguiling . . . utterly delightful.’ – Books for Keeps
‘A classic fairy tale with beautiful illustrations.’ – The Week Junior
‘A delicious treat.’ – Guardian
Brie the mouse is caught in the paws of Gorgonzola the cat, facing certain death. How can he survive? Well, the cheese shop where they live is a source of great inspiration. The cheese labels tell stories of a world beyond their four walls . . . So Brie starts telling a riveting story, of princesses who don’t want to be married, of cats that can turn into panthers, of a magical realm deep within a mountain and an extraordinary quest to break a spell . . .
Children will be dazzled by the extraordinarily detailed illustrations. This promises to be a book to treasure forever.
