Cheshire Cheese Cat : A Dickens of a Tale

Carmen Agra Deedy (2011), 228 pages
Illustrated by Barry Moser
Audience: 4th Grade - 7th Grade
Category: Animal, Fiction, Historical
In Victorian London, alley cat Skilley wants to escape the hard life of the streets for the comforts of an inn. He makes a home at the Cheshire Cheese Inn under the pretence of being a mouser, but Skilley has a secret. He doesn't eat mice! Instead, he prefers cheese, and the best cheese in London is served at the inn. Skilley forms an alliance with the inn's mice, but complications arise when another cat moves in. There is also a mysterious resident at the inn who needs their help to find his way home. Will Mr. Charles Dickens (who frequents the inn) be able to help sort out the impending crisis? And what happens when Queen Victoria pays a visit? Read this delightful story to find out.
