“But you can get him out,” said the chairwoman.
The mice of the Prisoners’ Aid Society are determined to rescue a captive from the terrible Black Castle.
So begins a mission to recruit the bravest mouse they can find, and Miss Bianca, the pet white mouse belonging to the Ambassador's son, is sent to Norway in search of such a hero – someone who can outwit the fearsome jailer and evade the jaws of his cruel cat. Someone who will risk life and whisker on the most dangerous and daring of adventures…
