What a beautiful book this is, and its no wonder it is receiving rave reviews all over the press. No UK hardback editions exist, just this US hardback which was printed by Candlewick Press in the US.Very few copies made it over to the UK, and to find signed copies is very difficult indeed.
The tale is a charming one, based around the mouse Desperaux Tilling and his many adventures. The book is fantastically produced with illustrated boards, a wonderful dustwrapper, illustrations by Timothy Basil Ering throughout, and sumptuous feathered page edges, the like of which we rarely see in the UK.
Recently made into a film in the UK, starring amongst others, Matthew Broderick, Dustin Hoffman, Tracy Ullman, and Emma Watson of "Harry Potter" fame (Hermione Granger).
A fine book in a fine protected dustwrapper.
