Octavo, tan cloth (hardcover), illus. of mouse running over shoe on upper cover, [56] pp. Good, with wear to spine that includes chipping, foxing to endpapers. Illustrations throughout. From story: Signora Lucrezia Filegrini was a singer and her husband, Signor Leandro Filegrini, was her accompanist. They gave recitals to civic groups in small towns around the country. Unfortunately, the fees for their recitals were small, so in order to make a living the Filegrinis had to give as many as possible. This meant they had to be forever traveling, spending the better part of their lives getting in and out of buses, and checking in and out of hotels. They enjoyed traveling when the weather was pleasant; they liked seeing new towns, new country, and new people. But in wintertime when it was cold and damp and windy, they would often huddle around the radiator in a hotel room and wish they had a home. During the long winter evenings their thoughts would drift back to other times and places, for the Filegrinis had not always lived this way. [In the story that follows, Signor Leandro Filegrini makes use of a small mouse to help his singing wife to hit the high notes].
