The Tale of Master Meadow Mouse

A plump, good-natured meadow mouse lives in a farm valley where days alternate between food hunts, naps and a procession of small adventures. He builds and moves among shelters — meadow tunnels, a woodpile hut, cornstalk shocks and a raft — while evading predators such as foxes, mink, hawks and owls. Encounters with other creatures produce friendships and rivalries, comic mishaps like a deceptive sign and close calls from floods, snow and masked bandits, and moments of ingenuity and courage. The narrative presents a sequence of gentle, season-shaped episodes about survival, community and making a home in changing countryside.
