About this listen

—A Newbery Medal Winner

Mrs. Frisby, a widowed mouse with four small children, is faced with a terrible problem. She must move her family to their summer quarters immediately, or face almost certain death. But her youngest son, Timothy, lies ill with pneumonia and must not be moved.

Fortunately, she encounters the rats of NIMH, an extraordinary breed of highly intelligent creatures, who come up with a brilliant solution to her dilemma. And Mrs. Frisby in turn renders them a great service.

Extremely well narrated. Wonderful story. I saw the movie as a child and loved it. The book is of course much richer both in detail abd backstory. Highly recommend!

Dark children classic story told in low key /almost monotone narration - but still excellent. Key my 10 & 13 year old (& myself;) riveted.

I read this book for a novel student in elementary school and, after almost three decades, I still enjoy it today. It’s a simple story with profound philosophical themes ranging across a broad spectrum: sapience, family, friendship, loyalty, honour, and what it means to build a civilization.

Much better that the movie

A true classic
