Bernelly & Harriet: The Country Mouse and the City Mouse

Bernelly is a country mouse who spends most of her time outdoors, teaching fly-fishing and tying beautiful flies. Harriet is a famous artist who lives and paints in her cozy apartment in the heart of the city. The two cousins have not seen each other since they were wee mice. So when a leaky boot sends Bernelly to the city for a new pair, Harriet tries to persuade her that city life is best. Bernelly has fun visiting museums, attending the ballet, and shopping in fancy stores but insists that Harriet sample country life. Each mouse tries hard to enjoy the other's life, but each finally finds the most happiness right at home.

Winsome and winning illustrations capture the differences between the two mice and their surroundings in this appealing version of the classic fable.
