I'd Do It All Over Again

New York: Vantage Press. Fine in Near Fine dj. (c.1996). First Edition. Hardcover. [jacket a little wrinkled across top edge]. A mouse's-eye view of the world. "Meet Pomfret Mouseglib, your narrator and all 'round amiable guide to the rodent haut monde he chronicles so lovingly... A renowned epicure, Mr. Mouseglib (who is, in fact, a mouse, as well as the faithful correspondent of his typist, Kathryn Pulver) exhibits his scrupulously refined taste and scintillating wit in this brilliant series of essays, poems, and vignettes, a chef d'oeuvre that is also his initial foray into the publishing realm. Aside from being a keen observer of the social mores and foibles of the mousy set, Mouseglib here extends his purview both to cultural matters -- the modern ballet mouse and the role of mice in modern opera -- and to the affairs of the heart he treats with such nobility and grace." .
