Miss Bianca in the Orient
Margery Sharp, Erik Blegvad
Paperback
(Dell Pub Co, May 1, 1978)
Further adventures of mouse-heroine, Miss Bianca. It is not surprising that Miss Bianca takes to the splendors of the Orient like a fish to water. And it is not really surprising that she enraptures the opulent Oriental Ranee with her splendid rendition of "Le Camembert" on the harp. But it is astounding that Miss Bianca, a mouse of delicacy, accustomed to luxury, and dedicated to the higher pursuits, cares to take on the Royal Elephants alone! Her motive is the rescue of Willow, the unfortunate harem girl, and the pathetic page boy from being trampled to smithereens- as is the custom for the slightest offense to the Ranee. On top of that, Miss Bianca faces being drowned in rose water and then being stuffed by the Royal Taxidermist! But Miss Bianca, Perpetual Madam President of the M.P.A.S (Mouse Prisoners' Aid Society) is as fearless and determined as she is elegant and cunning. Age group 6 plus.
