From the acclaimed author of the Kate Greenaway Award-winning book comes an exquisite tale within a tale, featuring a mouse who is compelled to weave stories in order to save his life, a cat who eagerly awaits the moment to devour the mouse once the tale is complete, and our protagonist, a princess in distress.

Gorgonzola observed Brie with her tail twitching, and then she launched herself at the mouse.

Brie, the mouse, finds himself ensnared in the clutches of Gorgonzola, the cat. Desperate to escape his impending fate, Brie begins to spin a tale, hoping to captivate Gorgonzola and spare his life.

It is a captivating tale, filled with wonder and adventure. It revolves around a runaway princess, a cat capable of growing to the size of a panther, an enchanted feast, a vanishing cavern, and a quest to discover a magical herb.

This intricate and captivating story is brought to life with stunning interior art, adding an extra layer of beauty and intrigue to the narrative. You will find yourself unable to put down this captivating tale, and you will be thoroughly immersed in the world of the mouse, the cat, and the princess until the very last page.
