| Summary |
Once upon a time... there was a brave and virtuous mouse with comically oversized ears who dreamt of becoming a knight. Banished from his home for having such lofty ambitions, Despereaux sets off on an amazing adventure with his good-hearted rat friend Roscuro that eventually led him, at long last, on a very noble quest to rescue a distraught princess. Set in the far away kingdom of Dor, this magical fable harkens back to a time of honour and chivalry, inspiring fans of all ages to be the best mouse they can be! |
