About This Book

A plump, soft-furred mouse leaves his family to seek his fortune after his mother must work to support the brood. Traveling through the countryside, he visits an inn run by guinea pigs where a sleepy proprietor and a flurry of domestic chaos delay his meal; directed to the kitchen he encounters the Salamander, a drowsy, lizard-like cook who emerges from the oven. The narrative follows the mouse’s small adventures among anthropomorphized animals, combining gentle humor, household mishaps, and themes of independence and helpfulness.
