These essential ingredients combine into a tale that is as soul-stirring as it is delicious.\" BOOKLIST (starred review)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWelcome to the story of Despereaux Tilling, a mouse who is in love with music, stories, and a princess named Pea. It is also the story of a rat called Roscuro, who lives in the darkness and covets a world filled with light. And it is the story of Miggery Sow, a slow-witted serving girl who harbors a simple, impossible wish. These three characters are about to embark on a journey that will lead them down into a horrible dungeon, up into a glittering castle, and, ultimately, into each other's lives. What happens then? As Kate DiCamillo would say: Reader, it is your destiny to find out. \u003cbr\u003eFrom the master storyteller who brought us BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE comes another classic, a fairy tale full of quirky, unforgettable characters, with twenty-four stunning black-and-white illustrations by Timothy Basil Ering. This paperback edition pays tribute to the book's classicdesign, featuring a rough front and elegant gold stamping.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Candlewick","offers":[{"title":"Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup and a Spool of Thread | Kate DiCamillo | Paperback | 9780763625290 | Used: Very Good | Children's Books 1598498","offer_id":48163722002584,"sku":"1598498","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup and a Spool of Thread | Kate DiCamillo | Paperback | 9780763625290 | Used: Like New | Children's Books 1702429 (temp: 8)","offer_id":48878814724248,"sku":"1702429","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81Ej1BD8KrL.jpg?v=1771889922","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/tale-of-despereaux-being-the-story-of-a-mouse-a-princess-some-soup-and-a-spool-of-thread","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
