A charming tale set in the English cottage of Miss Ellie, a widow who finds a surprise visitor in her cupboard. And because "a mouse in the cupboard simply won't do," she must find the little creature a "cozy" house of its own. Enchanting illustrations by award-winning water-colorist, Maris Shepherd, make the story come to life. A perfect book for those who love tea and those who have a soft spot in their heart for our fellow creatures.
