Cousin Whitefoot's elegant tail was certainly much longer. One day Danny was so morose on the subject, he almost didn't notice Old Whitetail the Marsh Hawk swooping down. Whew! He escaped, though -- You see, Danny had a problem. Not only was Danny a mouse, he was a plump, tasty-looking mouse. Reddy Fox wanted him for dinner Granny Fox thought he'd do for breakfast. Mr. Blacksnake wriggled with pleasure at the notion of a -- 'Chomp!' -- Danny Meadow Mouse Snack. And Redtail the Hawk -- well, you get the idea. 108 pp. Englisch.

E. Nesbit's third book of this series finishes the delightful trilogy by this famous fantasy author. Who needs fantasy, though, when you have these wonderful tales of the Bastable children, narrated by Oswald Bastable in his best superior third person fashion. Here again is Oswald's troublesome little brother H.O. and Dicky and Dora and Alice and Noël, to say nothing of the Bastable uncles, father and mother. The story is told from a child's point of view. The narrator is Oswald, but on the first page he announces: 'It is one of us that tells this story - but I shall not tell you which: only at the very end perhaps I will. While the story is going on you may be trying to guess, only I bet you don't.' However, his occasional lapse into first person and the undue praise he likes to heap on himself, makes his identity obvious to the attentive reader long before he reveals it himself. 172 pp. Englisch.
