What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Signed, With Dustwrapper
First U.S. edition. With unclipped dust wrapper.
Signed by author to half-title page.
With numerous black-and-white illustrations by successful children's book illustrator and artist Timothy Basil Ering.
This much-beloved children's tale is set in a fantastical world where mice and rats are equally shunned. Love-stricken mouse Despereaux Tilling embarks on an adventure to save Princess Pea from the maleficient rats. The book won the 2004 John Newbery Medal, among many other awards and nominations, making children's book author Kate DiCamillo one of only seven authors to have won two Newbery Medals, the second being for similar work Flora & Ulysses. DiCamillo has sold over 35 million copies of her books worldwide. This text was adapted into a film in 2008.
