Mouse Goes to the Mountains

From his cabin, Mouse waves at the gardeners in the mountainside allotment. Yet the sleeper train is travelling further to an isolated station, where he is the only traveller to disembark. From here, he hikes across boggy land, over barren deer parks, swims in icy cold mountain lakes, all the time filled with awe by the spectacle he is experiencing. Alice Melvin’s own en plein air sketches inspire her wonderful series of Mouse’s encounters in nature. The latest, with text by William Snow, is Mouse Goes to the Mountains. There are wild berries to snack upon and ‘grey, angry clouds’ to tackle. Then again, there’s birdsong and calm and peace and isolation. However, throughout this wonderful journey, readers have flaps to lift, from bothies to peek inside, to trees to climb! Then there are broad scape pages in which to linger, where we feel as though we’re part of Mouse’s experience. Bookwagon loves this exceptional series. We are so happy to welcome aboard Mouse Goes to the Mountains.
