The Cheshire Cheese Cat
ByPublisher Description
In this playful homage to Charles Dickens, Skilley, an alley cat with an embarrassing secret, longs to escape his street-cat life.
Hoping to trade London's damp alleyways for the warmth of ye olde Cheshire Cheese Inn, Skilley strikes a bargain with Pip, an erudite mouse. Skilley will protect the mice who live at the inn, and in turn, the mice will provide Skilley with the thing he desires most.
But when Skilley and Pip are drawn into a crisis of monumental proportions, their new friendship is pushed to its limits. The escalating crisis threatens the peace not only of the Cheshire Cheese Inn but the entire British Monarchy!
New York Times best-selling author Carmen Agra Deedy and coauthor Randall Wright collaborate on this compelling story set in Victorian England. With the artwork of award-winning illustrator Barry Moser, The Cheshire Cheese Cat is filled with charming characters and strong themes of friendship and loyalty.

“A cheese-loving tom, a wordsmithing mouse, Mr. Charles Dickens, a stranded Tower raven, a villainous other cat, and a dash of Queen Victoria. Friendship, danger, death, and novel writing all happen. A fun read (the audiobook is well done!).”

“Very enjoyable tale of a cat and mouse living in Ye Old Cheshire Cheese Pub. Masterly narrated by Katherine Kellgren on audio. I loved the writers who were in the background of the story; Dickens, Wilkie Collins, and Thackeray. Now I am even more excited to go to this pub in London.”
