Review of The Tale of Despereaux

Enchanting and captivating story - but not a usual story tale about princesses and kings and heroes.
It has all the right mix of magic and drama, rightness and darkness, wisdom and love, but the hero is … a mouse.
The short piece reminds us that everybody is capable of great things and feelings…
Beautifully read.
