About This Item
Synopsis
The Tale of Despereaux, also known as The Tale of Desperaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread is a 2003 Newbery Medal winning children's fantasy book written by Kate DiCamillo. It tells the story of a mouse, named Despereaux, on a quest to rescue a beautiful human princess. The book was adapted into an animated film in 2008. The novel is divided into four books and a coda. Each book tells the story from the perspective of a different character.
Reviews
It was interesting to see how the strings all came together at the end. A tale about a mouse falling in love with a princess is quite a premise, but DiCamillo is so good, I think her book Edward Tulane is even better.
