Abstract

en_US
This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the third level, 48 pages in length. The back cover describes the story as a "delightful folktale from Japan." As is frequent in the versions in this series, the first two pages lay out the characters, here Father Mouse, Mother Mouse, Miss Mouse, the sun, a cloud, the wind, a wall, and a handsome young mouse. A great moment in the story arrives when "one day Miss Mouse wasn't so little anymore." The question posed to the sun, the first candidate for marriage to Miss Mouse, is "You are more powerful than anyone in the world, aren't you?" "Oh, no, I don't think so." The question and the answer are repeated with each of the candidates. On their journey, Mother Mouse serves crumbs for breakfast: what a lovely touch! The wall says that he can feel a little mouse nibbling him to dust. "The sun and the cloud and the wind all came to the wedding. But not at once." Charming illustrations!
