Book Description: A delightful and witty children's picture book that cleverly parodies Alfred Lord Tennyson's famous poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade." When the cats of Cat Valley steal the mice's precious cheese supplies, the starving mice of Mouseville form the brave Mouse Brigade to recapture it. With six hundred valiant mice in splendid Napoleonic-style uniforms, the story unfolds through Bernard Stone's rhythmic, memorable verse and Tony Ross's vibrant, humorous full-colour illustrations. Perfect for reading aloud, it blends adventure, humour, and gentle heroism. Includes the iconic lines adapted to the mouse theme: "Half a inch, half a inch, / Half a inch onward, / Into Cat Valley / Rode the Six Hundred." This 1979 first edition features Ross's lively artwork on every spread, making it a visual treat. It was warmly received with quotes from literary figures like Ted Hughes and Alan Sillitoe praising its charm and appeal. A wonderful addition to any collection of modern illustrated children's books, Tony Ross titles, or military/parody literature for young readers. Bernard Stone (1924-2005): Bernard Stone was a noted British bookseller, publisher, poet, and children's author. Born in Nottingham to Jewish refugees from Odessa, he ran the legendary Turret Bookshop in Kensington, London, which became a hub for poets and writers. He published and promoted works by authors including Alan Sillitoe and was himself a writer of charming children's stories featuring anthropomorphic animals. His "Mouse" series, including this title, Emergency Mouse, and The Tale of Admiral Mouse, are beloved for their playful storytelling and have become sought-after classics. Stone's work bridges the gap between children's literature and adult appreciation, often infused with humour and literary allusion. Illustrator - Tony Ross (b. 1938): Tony Ross is one of Britain's most acclaimed and prolific children's illustrators and authors. Born in London, he studied at the Liverpool School of Art and later taught illustration before becoming a full-time creator. He has illustrated over 1,000 books, including collaborations with Roald Dahl, David Walliams, and Michael Palin, and is best known for his own Little Princess series (which inspired a popular TV show) and the Horrid Henry books. Ross's distinctive style?bold, expressive, humorous, and full of character?has delighted generations of children worldwide. His work on The Charge of the Mouse Brigade is a standout early example, showcasing his talent for dynamic action scenes and endearing animal characters. Ross has received numerous awards, including the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis. His illustrations continue to be highly collectible. Collectibility & Rarity: The 1979 Andersen Press first edition is uncommon in commerce, particularly in this outstanding Like New condition. Early Tony Ross titles from the late 1970s are increasingly sought after by collectors of illustrated children's books. This copy would make an excellent gift or investment for enthusiasts of classic children's literature, parody, or military-themed stories reimagined for kids. N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-1782382205347
