It's not easy being a mouse. Bleak weather and dangerous predators mean there's always a need for the Mouse Guard, a group of soldier-style mice who ensure that mice can wander freely and go about their business in peace.When three of the Guard go off in search of a missing merchant mouse, they discover what they had never suspected - a traitor among their own. Intricate line art and warm, vibrant watercolour washes bring the heroic characters of the mice alive in this engaging collection of far-from-cutesy comic-strip fantasy adventures.Acclaimed writer and artist David Petersen presents a beautifully illustrated world of danger, daring and deviousness: once you enter it, you'll never forget it!
