The Adventures of Miss Twiggs and Company is a magical story set in rural England in 1946. Miss Twiggs, Mortimor, and Penelope are three mice that risk their lives leaving Durham County, England several times a year to share love, truth, and wisdom with all they encounter.
On this journey, they revisit an area where they had helped a man cope with the death of his spouse. Mt. Pleasant, a small town in Derbyshire County, England is still recovering from the great war as the book begins. The trio unexpectedly encounters Brian, an eleven-year-old boy, who is searching for answers to life's many questions. They help him discover the amazing power of thoughts on both a personal and community level.
The picturesque setting of Mt. Pleasant, with its charming villagers, provides the perfect backdrop for a story with it's message of peace and hope for the future. This book will enchant and delight both adults and children of all ages.
What a delightful story! A believer in the idea that our thoughts guide and impact our experience, I found the concepts shared by Miss Twiggs and her companions matched my beliefs. Forsting's excellent writing and descriptive passages, complemented by Woodcock's splendid illustrations, immerse the reader in rural England during post-World War II times. I enjoyed the magical journey and will be passing this lovely book to my grandchildren. An excellent book for anyone seeking inner peace.
