This is a 1974 First Camelot Printing of THE MOUSE AND HIS CHILD By Russell Hoban, Pictures By Lillian Hoban "What are we, Papa?" the toy mouse child asked his father. "I don't know," the father answered. "We must wait and see." So begins the story of a tin father and son who dance under a Christmas tree until they break the ancient clock-work rules and are themselves broken. Thrown away, then rescued from a trash can and repaired by a tramp, they set out on a perilous odyssey to follow the child's dream of a family and a place of their own. What happens to the mouse and his child in their search for the magnificent doll house, the plush elephant, and the tin seal they had known in the toyshop is a tale to remember and return to.
