Little Mouse

"Little Mouse is a Beauty!"

Walter Harding (1917-1996), renowned secretary of the Thoreau Society for 50 years and author of

The Days of Henry Thoreau

Had this to say:

I have read your Little Mouse with delight. What is more, both my wife and mother-in-law picked it up and were as delighted with it as I was. I liked your device of having Thoreau's more complex statements being translated into mouse talk.

From a strictly factual standpoint, outside the fairy-tale framework I believe everything is historically correct.

Thank you very much for letting me see your charming little tale. Best of luck with it. June 9, 1980
