Synopsis
Manny is the smallest of six mice born in his parents' nest in the woodpile. His mother worries that he might not make it. But life has much in store for him.
Manny dreams of being Zeus, Lord of Lightning, Titan of Thunder, with magical powers he can use to make life safe for all mice. But Manny is just an ordinary mouse.
Or is he?
Enter the woodpile near Farmer Frank's house and meet Manny and his family and friends. Manny's world is cozy and loving, but also filled with the dangers of farm cats, dogs with bad breath, foxes, and - worst of all - hawks, who can snatch you from your family in an instant. But as Manny discovers, friendships can come from unlikely places.
Follow Manny through danger, survival, love, and loss as his adventures and dreams take him far from his home, only to return to the warmth of family and friends (old and new). You, too, may believe in the tales Of Mouse And Magic.

About the Author
Allan Gall began writing stories in high school and won a poetry competition judged by John Berryman in college. Under a Fulbright-Hays scholarship, he analyzed the socio/political, satirical works of Aziz Nesin, a Turkish writer widely read in the Middle East and in the Turkic Republics of the former Soviet Union, for his Ph.D. dissertation. He speaks Turkish and loves to travel in Turkey where he was a Peace Corps Volunteer and later worked for the Ford Foundation. While making a living in part by writing public documents without attribution, Allan practiced story-telling to his children and grandchildren. This is his first personal publication.
