The Life and Perambulations of a Mouse
Produced by Pat Pflieger, and David Widger
"The Life and Perambulations of a Mouse" by Dorothy Kilner is a children's novel written during the late 18th century. The story follows a mouse, referred to as Nimble, who narrates his adventures and misadventures in a world filled with human dangers and insights. The narrative mixes whimsical storytelling with moral lessons about obedience, the nature of fear, and the importance of kindness. The opening of the book introduces a winter gathering at Meadow Hall where various characters—including young people and a narrator—engage in storytelling to pass the time. The conversation soon shifts to sharing personal life stories, and amid this, a mouse unexpectedly asks the narrator to write its history. This charming interaction sets the stage for the mouse's journey, as it recounts its experiences in an environment hostile to its kind, illustrating lessons on courage, curiosity, and the consequences of fear. Through these tales, Kilner captures the delicate balance of peril and amusement experienced by the mouse, revealing its resilience and the challenges it faces in pursuit of survival and companionship.
