"Dinny knew many interesting things about this house she lived in [ circa 1905 ]. One of the nicest of these was about the mice who lived here. Dinny's mother, father, and Cousin Charlotte didn't like mice. But Dinny did. She always wanted to touch a mouse but every one she ever saw ran too fast." Illustrated by Eloise Wilkin.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
