Desbarollda,
The Waltzing Mouse,
by Noel Langley, illustrated by Edward Ardizzone. Third edition, with colour illustrations!
Neil Gaiman (author of Good Omens, Coraline and many more) said of Desbarollda, The Waltzing Mouse:
“I read the first paragraph and was hooked. A sixty-three page eighteenth century novel in the grand manner about a waltzing mouse. Of course.”

Jackdaw & Other Stories by M. B. Mencher.
If the Novel can be described as “the one bright book of Life”, we can describe short stories as Life’s bright pages.
Jackdaw & Other Stories are mainly about people, but their settings are Mediterranean as well as British; and there is humour as well as sadness in them. The time-span is the last fifty years or so, but the last (and longest) story is a biblical update. Set in antiquity, it fills in the details Genesis left out.
