canada_matt's review against another edition

4.0

Popular fairly tale involving two mice who live in separate places and whose lifestyles differ greatly. Town Mouse speaks all about the wonders of the King's Court, while Country Mouse lives a meagre and quiet life. When the two trek to the court, Country Mouse cannot believe his eyes: food, candles, wonderful silks. However, when the dogs, cats, and servants appear, it is all about panic and worry. Country Mouse realizes that sometimes things are much better when it's quiet. Neo is the town mouse at times, enjoying the loud and boisterous activities, while I would be happy reading with a cup of tea. Still, we have some degree of harmony, as we both love GoodReads!
