Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Nita Sowter (illustrator). The Persistent Mouse Author: Joan Cass Illustrator: Nita Sowter Publisher: Hippo Books / Scholastic, London Publication Year: 1984 (First Scholastic paperback edition) ISBN: 0-590-70312-9 / 9780590703123 Format: Softcover / Paperback, 32 pages, colour illustrations throughout Condition: Very Good (light wear consistent with a well-loved children's book; clean pages, tight binding, minor corner rubbing - please see photos for exact condition of this copy) This delightful picture book tells the heartwarming and humorous story of kind-hearted Mr. Chisselwick and his devoted but troublesome little friend, Albert Henry the mouse. Mr. Chisselwick, a gentle soul who feeds birds, stray cats, and even the mice in his home, rescues Albert Henry from a mousetrap. In gratitude, the persistent mouse becomes his constant companion?much to the annoyance of housekeeper Mrs. Jones and everyone else in Mr. Chisselwick's life. From chaotic shopping trips and awkward tea parties to a grand sea cruise on the S.S. Queen Mary (where Albert Henry stows away yet again), the tale explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the challenges of an overly attached companion. The story culminates in a touching resolution that celebrates unconditional devotion. With a longer-than-average text for a picture book, it's perfect for reading aloud to ages 4-8 or for confident young readers. About the Author - Joan Cass: Joan Cass was a British children's author known for her warm, character-driven stories that often featured animals, everyday adventures, and gentle humour. Active in the 1970s-1980s, she contributed to the popular Hippo Books series published by Scholastic. Her writing style is engaging and accessible, blending light-hearted mischief with emotional depth. Other notable works include titles featuring animal characters and family stories that appealed to both children and parents. Cass had a knack for creating memorable, endearing protagonists like Mr. Chisselwick, whose kindness drives the narrative. About the Illustrator - Nita Sowter: Nita Sowter is a talented British illustrator renowned for her expressive, detailed watercolour and ink artwork in children's literature. Her style is lively and whimsical, full of charming details, soft colours, and delightful expressions that bring stories to life. Sowter illustrated numerous picture books in the 1970s-1980s, including the Maisie Middleton series and other titles for publishers like Hippo, Abelard-Schuman, and HarperCollins. Her illustrations in The Persistent Mouse are particularly enchanting?rich with period domestic scenes, bustling ports, tropical ports of call, and expressive animal characters. The artwork features warm, nostalgic tones that perfectly complement Cass's text, making this book a visual treat. Sowter's work is highly sought after by collectors of vintage children's illustration. Scarce in this condition on the UK market. Classic 1980s Scholastic Hippo Books edition with the original vibrant cover art (Mr. Chisselwick with Albert Henry on his shoulder against a sunny yellow background). Original UK price marked on back cover (£1.50). A wonderful addition to any collection of 1980s British children's literature, animal stories, or illustrated picture books. This copy has been carefully stored and shows only expected signs of age/use. No writing, tears, or major damage. Ideal for gifting or personal enjoyment.
