E-text prepared by Louise Hope
"The Mouse and the Christmas Cake" by Anonymous is a children’s story likely written in the late 19th century. This charming tale follows the delightful escapades of a mouse who discovers a grand Christmas cake and decides to make it her home. The narrative captures themes of curiosity and the innocent chaos which ensues during a festive gathering. In the story, a little mouse named Nib finds a beautiful Christmas cake adorned with the image of Windsor Castle, which she perceives as a perfect fortress. As she gnaws her way into the cake to explore her new home, a group of children arrives, eager to enjoy the cake. When they hear unexpected noises coming from within, a humorous series of events unfolds, causing panic and laughter among the partygoers. Nib, frightened by the commotion, makes her escape, leading to a joyous conclusion as the children resume their festivities, leaving the little mouse to her cake-filled hideaway.
