Despereaux Tilling was born with his eyes open. He was never good at just being a mouse. He enjoys reading and listening to music and when he meets, touches and talks to a human princess the mouse council sends him to the dungeon to be eaten by the rats. A devious rat has plans of capturing the princess and Despereaux must save her. Themes of courage, being different, honor, love, hope, power, good and evil, dark and light.
