“You can’t cheer a prisoner in the Black Castle,” said the old mouse.

“But you can get him out,” said the chairwoman.

The mice of the Prisoners’ Aid Society are determined to rescue a captive from the terrible Black Castle.

So begins a mission to recruit the bravest mouse they can find, and Miss Bianca, the pet white mouse belonging to the Ambassador's son, is sent to Norway in search of such a hero – someone who can outwit the fearsome jailer and evade the jaws of his cruel cat. Someone who will risk life and whisker on the most dangerous and daring of adventures…

Enchanting, magical, and filled with adventure, The Rescuers is a modern classic.
