And tells the story of three field mice Rachel, Jack and Uncle Olivier who whilst out exploring the village one winters day become caught up in a snow storm. They take shelter in a small village theatre and very soon an action packed magical adventure unfolds.

The eBook was first introduced to readers via a feature in the Christmas edition of CHESHIRE LIFE magazine - entitled "A Mouses Tail" and demand was such that it was then fully illustrated and self published in printed and electronic formats.

All stories by Michael R Beddard carry an underlying theme around repaying kindness shown by others. The story and illustrations can be enjoyed alone or shared.
