A stunning picture book version of Aesop's fable. The story of the town mouse and the country mouse who visit each other and decide they each prefer their own homes is perhaps the best known and loved of Aesop's fables. Here Kate Summers' warm and friendly retelling expands the story into a picture book of immense appeal. The contrasting worlds of Tilly, the country mouse who loves her modest little home in the hedgerow, and sophisticated Milly who lives in a splendid doll's house in town, are shown in exquisite detail, and the reactions of the two delightful mice characters to their alarming experiences bring humour and excitement to the tale.
