The Linnet's Tale (A Mouse Story for Grownups) (The Tottensea Series)

The Linnet's Tale (A Mouse Story for Grownups) (The Tottensea Series) Review

Consider the lively company of field mice who live in Tottensea Burrows—a thriving little village which, unfortunately, occupies the same space as the back garden of an English country cottage. There, hidden in the shrubbery and the vines and the lyme grass, the mice have their homes, their shops, their pubs and a grand town hall. And there they buy and sell, read books, give teas, have romances, plan cotillions, build gadgets, make jam…. But when The Man and The Woman of The Cottage discover this...well, there's some trouble, isn't there. A bit of a rumpus. And…an adventure!


"Dale C. Willard's delightful The Linnet's Tale ought to become a classic…. A comedy of manners on a very small scale, this book should be savored."
—Deborah Wormser, The Dallas Morning News

"This charming book, inspired by a family of field mice living on the author's back porch, hints of Dickens, Jane Austen, Watership Down and such children's classics as Wind in the Willows and The Borrowers. Yet it's ultimately its own story of a delightful community of idiosyncratic field mice living in proximity to a family of people and engaged in the romances, adventures and domestic dramas found in any community."
—Joan Hinkemeyer, Rocky Mountain News

"…a delectable little trifle--a romance, even--for grown-ups who would like a respite from adult content."
—Eleanor Edmondson, Bas Bleu

Juliette Low, Girl Scout Founder (Young Patriots series)

Juliette Low, Girl Scout Founder (Young Patriots series) Review

Over two million Girl Scouts worldwide owe their membership to its founder, Juliette Low—a woman who, as a girl growing up in the post–Civil War South, refused to accept that girls couldn’t do everything boys could. Whether angrily defending her friend against taunts of schoolmates or rescuing a kitten from the highest branches of a tree, Low possessed the spirit and strength of character that would lead her in adulthood to act as a world-famous advocate for girls. Children will experience Low’s joy at the gift of her very own horse, feel her excitement at attending her first dance, and share her frustration with being thrust in to the role of a well-behaved 19th-century young lady who would rather have been riding, creating sculptures, or climbing.
