Publisher's Synopsis
"...He was most definitely a wood-mouse rather than a house-mouse like Mim. He stood there proudly in green dungarees that looked like they had been mended clumsily several times. As Mim looked at him more closely, she could tell there was something distinctly wild about him. Perhaps it was because his tail was muddy or his fur rather weather-worn. However, he had kind eyes that were gazing at her with concerned curiosity."
Mim the Mouse is the cleverest little mouse you will ever meet. Although her house looks just like a chewed-up hole in the skirting board in a dusty corner of a human's house, on the inside, she has made it the most cosy and beautiful miniature home anymouse could ask for.
One hot, summer's day, Mim decides to forage for blackberries to make the most delicious pie. When a mishap leaves her injured and far from home, her tears are replaced by hope when she encounters Morris, a wood-mouse who knows the secrets of the wild.
Morris, with his wealth of herbal knowledge, offers to help Mim, and together they embark on a perilous journey through the woods where they must brave a terrible storm, encounter the rushing river and escape the talons of a monstrous owl. In this enchanting tale of courage and loyalty, Mim and Morris prove that even in the wildest of circumstances, the greatest treasures are found in the warmth of friendship.
