The country mouse is visiting his friend in the big city to see how
extravagant life can be. For the first time, he basks in endless amounts
of sweetmeats, champagne, and the finest cheeses a mouse could ever
want. But when life at His Majesty's Court starts to show its darker
sides, the country mouse quickly learns that the town's riches aren't
worth losing the peace and tranquility of his own quiet home. In this
classic tale of two of friends, Paul Galdone's gorgeous illustrations
and simple prose remind us where we find life's true treasures.
