Travel through time following a charming little mouse called Minim who
loves cheese and music. On this occasion, he finds himself bouncing
around in Emily's skirt pocket as she joyfully skips down the stairs to
her father's bustling workshop. A very special guest has just arrived, a
musician deemed to be the best violinist in the world. Little do the
luthiers know that they will come very close to witnessing a terrible
accident: the destruction of Niccolo Paganini's most cherished
instrument. Luckily, the little girl saves the day by miraculously
catching the violin in midair before it hits the floor. Filled with
gratitude, the maestro begins to play a piece for her--as if nothing
else in the world ever existed. In addition to an illustrated story and
introductory notes on the composer in French, this book is accompanied
by a CD featuring recordings of the narrated story and the performance
of the composition Caprice 24. A unique code for the digital download of
the recordings and a printable file of the illustrated story is also
included.
