A Review from Amazon.com
Despereaux Tilling, the new baby mouse, is different from all other mice. Sadly, the romantic, unmouselike spirit that leads the unusually tiny, large-eared mouse to the foot of the human king and the beautiful Princess Pea ultimately causes him to be banished by his own father to the foul, rat-filled dungeon.
The first book of four tells Despereaux's sad story, where he falls deeply in love with Princess Pea and meets his cruel fate. The second book introduces another creature who differs from his peers--Chiaroscuro, a rat who instead of loving the darkness of his home in the dungeon, loves the light so much he ends up in the castle& in the queen's soup. The third book describes young Miggery Sow, a girl who has been "clouted" so many times that she has cauliflower ears.
Still, all the slow-witted, hard-of-hearing Mig dreams of is wearing the crown of Princess Pea. The fourth book returns to the dungeon-bound Despereaux and connects the lives of mouse, rat, girl, and princess in a dramatic denouement.

Dear Ms. DiCamillo,
(Just a free-fans-letter...)
And as I read the story from the start to the end, my love grew deeper. I love your story characters, Despereaux, Roscuro, Princess Pea, and Miggery. Despite their differences in characters and likings, they all share the same dreams; happiness and love, which are needed by all living things in this world.
I don't know how to say it correctly in English, but I just want to say to you, I thank you very much for writing "The Tale of Despereaux". Because, as you wrote in the book ,"Stories are light," no matter how simple a story is, there's got to be something in it that can lighten one's life. And I wish, someday, I could write my own stories to lighten others' hearts, the way you've done.
