Read The Foreword To ' In A Mouse's Night'


In a world teeming full of mouse species, from field mice to pygmy mice to harvest mice and beyond, their stories often go unnoticed by the oblivious human eye. Yet, within these seemingly ordinary creatures lies an extraordinary tale of resilience and survival, a story that will captivate your imagination from the very first page.  These small, unassuming beings find themselves thrust into a whirlwind of unusual environments and perilous predicaments, all in the relentless pursuit of sustenance and shelter. The unforgiving forces of nature compel them to adapt, take daring risks, and confront the unexpected with unwavering determination. 
Unbeknownst to most humans, mice often reside just a breath away, concealed within the folds of our everyday lives. Though seemingly peaceful, the coexistence of these worlds can transform into a treacherous dance on the edge of life itself. The tiniest of nooks become havens, whilst danger lurks on every corner, in the shadows of their very existence. 

But this is not just another tale of survival; this is a gripping chronicle of a single fateful night for one extraordinary family of mice. Their simple desire is to secure a few morsels of nourishment and a warm sanctuary to call home. Little do they know destiny has other plans. As the night unfolds, they are thrust into a maelstrom of danger and intrigue that will leave you breathless. 
With every twist and turn, you'll witness the sheer courage of Ben, the family's eldest, as he navigates the labyrinth of danger and intrigue. Rumours from the rodent world start to coalesce, unveiling a sinister secret that threatens their very existence. 

In a heart-pounding narrative, these tiny heroes are pushed to the brink. Cats, rats, dogs, and even the police descend upon the suburban street, setting the stage for an epic showdown. Will they evade the relentless dangers that encircle them? Can they escape the clutches of impending doom? Will any of them survive this harrowing night? 

Prepare to be enthralled, as the secrets of this night will take you on a mesmerising journey into a world where courage knows no size, where survival is the ultimate triumph, and where the fate of a family hangs in the balance. This is a tale you won't be able to put down, a story that will stay with you forever, long after the final page is turned.
