When the Queen of All You Can See discovers she has mice in her castle she employs the infamous feline, Max the Magnificent, to hunt them down. But the mice are smarter and braver than they're given credit for, and they have no intention of scurrying quite so easily. They intend to chase Max from the castle instead-they just have to figure out how. With the help of an ancient legend, the mice find themselves on the chase of their life.
The Royal Mice: The Sword and the Horn Reviews
-
Impulse grab from a library display because of the pretty cover. Illustrations inside are pretty, but font is 'old-fashioned' and very hard to read. Some good lines in the story, and some lame ones. I despise the plot. The mice should have learned to control their numbers, but the last picture shows a whole family of them on the Queen's table while she's dining.
-
The literary elements (plot, character dev., etc.) are a little lackluster but the illustrations are just as beautiful, charming, and intricate as I remember :)
-
This is an entertaining tale with an old English feel that is dramatic and fun to read aloud. The illustrations are gorgeous and our girls loved Max and the mice. We enjoyed reading this book together.
