The Tale of Despereaux
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 5:30 PM
Whitridge Room; free of charge
Despereaux Tilling is a mouse who is in love with music, stories, and a princess named Pea. Roscuro is a rat who lives in the darkness and covets a world filled with light. Miggery Sow is a serving girl who harbors a single, impossible wish. These three characters embark on a journey that will lead them down into a horrible dungeon, up into a glittery castle, and, ultimately, into each other's lives.
Parents and their children in grades 3 and older are invited to join Children's Library staff for a discussion of this award-winning tale and its quirky, unforgettable characters.
