Noel Langley

Desbarollda, the Waltzing Mouse Noel Langley New edition

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."
