Summary: The Tale of Despereaux is the story of a tiny, fragile-looking mouse with a huge heart. It’s a fairytale of heroes and villains; of a beautiful princess who inspires love and courage in the unlikely hero; of a rat called Roscuro, who lives in a dark, bleak dungeon and longs for the light and of a servant-girl, whose one wish is to be a princess. These characters’ lives become inextricably entwined in this classic new story for all ages.
