- Abstract
- en_US I have often seen this tale presenting a father looking for a husband worthy of his daughter. Here it is a male mouse himself who goes out looking for the daughter of the most powerful thing in the world. Otherwise he wants no wife at all, as he tells each potential father-in-law. The illustration of the sun is impressive; it says better than words the place the sun has in the world. This mouse rides a balloon to find the cloud. He rides a kite to find the wind. He then wears stilts to find the tower. The book says that it is based on a 12th-century retelling by Marie de France from 'The Mouse Who Sought a Wife.'
