Frankel is a clever but cautious mouse who leaves his home in Swiss Cottage station and heads for Baker Street, in search of crumbs. Lazy, blustering Berrel tags along, always hoping for food, comfort and an easy life. They are joined by timid young Michael, and wild, unpredictable Cousin Ruthie, who is guaranteed to cause chaos.
The funny and affectionate account of their adventures - on a train, on a balloon, in a Mousepanic, and finally whooshing out of the tunnels and into the Thames, afloat on a bagel - is perfect for reading aloud to young children.
