A story full of drama, word play and gentle satire on literary conventions, making it a delightful read for children and adults. In the first edition, the book was described as "Mr. Noel Langley's epic pastiche in the grand classic heroic manner, wherein he pays glowing homage to the nice sensibility and decorous passions that are the special elixir of the artistic temperament, whether it inhabit Heathcliff, Manon Lescaut, the Mock Turtle or Desbarollda the Waltzing Mouse."

This review is from: Desbarollda The Waltzing Mouse (Paperback)
Reviews added here, as I can't find another way to enter them.
But the most charming book of all is a reissue of Noel Langley's Desbarollda, the Waltzing Mouse (Durrant Books, £9.99). It's hard to know whether the mannered prose or the drawings by the great Edward Ardizzone is more captivating. -- Melanie McDonagh --London Evening Standard, December 17, 2009 This immaculate pastiche of the writing of an age more gracious than ours is a fable of the irreconcilable desires of men and women, charmingly illustrated by Edward Ardizzone, with notes on the author and illustrator. -- William Charlton --The Tablet, November 28, 2009 I read the first paragraph and was hooked. A sixty-three page eighteenth century novel in the grand manner about a waltzing mouse. Of course. -- Neil Gaiman --Neil Gaiman's Blog, February 10, 2007
