Acclaimed as a classic of 20th century children's literature, The Mouse and His Child follows two clockwork mice who are thrown onto the scrap heap and begin a dangerous quest for a new place to belong. Russell Hoban's masterpiece has served as the inspiration for countless stories about what happens in the toy box when we're not looking.
