The final Church Mice book?,
By
This review is from: Church Mice Take a Break (Hardcover)
The Mice and Sampson hitch a ride with the Vicar when he heads off for a seaside holiday. Of course this goes horribly wrong, and they find themselves stranded. (Interestingly, the holiday is set in Graham Oakley's home town of Lyme Regis, and the shops and seafront in the pictures are real.) As usual, the story is full of wry English humour and wonderfully detailed pictures.Sadly, this could be the last of the church mice series as Mr Oakley has said he's thinking of letting them retire, but it's a good innings for mice that first appeared in print in 1972.

Final book in the Church Mice series,
By
This review is from: Church Mice Take a Break (Hardcover)
The Church Mice and Sampson (the Church Cat) hitch a ride with the Vicar when he heads off for a seaside holiday. Of course this goes horribly wrong, and they find themselves stranded. (Interestingly, the holiday is set in Graham Oakley's home town of Lyme Regis, and the shops and seafront are real.) As usual, this book is full of amazingly detailed pictures, and has a wickedly fun story. It's not the best of the Church Mice books, but I wouldn't have missed it. Graham Oakley said in a press interview that this would probably be the last Church Mouse book he would write, but that his next project is to bring out an edition of Beauty and the Beast illustrated with Pre-Raphaelite-style paintings.
