À propos de cet audio

 This is the story of Despereaux Tilling, a mouse in love with music, stories, and a princess named Pea. It is also the story of a rat called Roscuro, who lives in darkness but covets a world filled with light. And it is the story of Miggery Sow, a slow-witted serving girl with a simple, impossible wish. These characters are about to embark on a journey that will lead them down into a horrible dungeon, up into a glittering castle, and ultimately, into each other's lives.

And what happens then?

Listener, it is your destiny to find out.

Ce que les critiques en disent

  • Newbery Medal Winner, 2004, Most Distinguished American Children's Book

"A charming story of unlikely heroes....With a masterful hand, DiCamillo weaves four story lines together in a witty, suspenseful narrative that begs to be read aloud....This expanded fairy tale is entertaining, heartening, and, above all, great fun." (School Library Journal)
"Forgiveness, light, love, and soup. These essential ingredients combine into a tale that is as soul stirring as it is delicious." (Booklist)

As someone who doesn’t turn to reading as their first choice of entertainment, this was the one book I remember reading multiple times as a kid. In an attempt to get into the habit of reading as an adult, I decided to try this audio book for some easy listening.

Don’t get me wrong, this is definitely an elementary school level book with its writing style and pace, but I can’t help but to love its simplicity. So many emotions are clearly portrayed and explained throughout this book; joy, hate, sorrow, empathy, longing, and grief, which aren’t always explored in children’s novels. The chapters are short (I love when that happens) & the story is easily digestible.

This book doesn’t try to be anything it’s not - at it’s core it’s just a story about a mouse who falls in love with a princess and it’s just as good as I remember it being close to 15 years ago.

Worth the re-read
