"Some Mice are Born Great, Some Mice Have Greatness Thrust Upon them…" Sam Mouse never wanted excitement, he never craved fame. All Sam wanted to do was live a simple life, appreciating some of the finer things that a mouse could want. Enjoy some nice cheese and write a book. But the arrival of a cat in the house is about to change all of that... Sam's grandfather was a mouse hero. The sort of mouse that you read about in a book. In fact, from the comfort of his cozy nest, Sam is writing that very book about his grandfather. But while writing his grandfathers biography, Sam discovers that greatness isn't always a choice, and that what we want and what we get from life isn't always the same. But all that is about to change Sam's world is turned upside down by a single letter, and soon he is forced to question everything that he knows and believes in. In the spirit of Wind in The Willows, Watership Down and the Borrowers, Sam Mouse will appeal to a wide range of readers.
