Welcome to the story of Despereaux Tilling, a mouse who is in love with music, stories, and a princess named Pea. It is also the story of a rat called Roscuro, who lives in the darkness and covets a world filled with light. And it is the story of Miggery Sow, a slow-witted serving girl who harbors a simple, impossible wish. These three characters are about to embark on a journey that will lead them down into a horrible dungeon, up into a glittering castle, and, ultimately, into each other's lives. And what happens then? As Kate DiCamillo would say: Reader, it is your destiny to find out.

Quotes

  • Meiliana Kanhas quoted4 years ago
    But still, here are the words Despereaux Tilling spoke to his father. He said, “I forgive you, Pa.”

    And he said those words because he sensed that it was the only way to save his own heart, to stop it from breaking in two. Despereaux, reader, spoke those words to save himself.
  • Meiliana Kanhas quoted4 years ago
    Forgiveness, reader, is, I think, something very much like hope and love, a powerful, wonderful thing.

    And a ridiculous thing, too.
  • Meiliana Kanhas quoted4 years ago
    Did you think that rats do not have hearts? Wrong. All living things have a heart. And the heart of any living thing can be broken.
