The Tale of Despereaux: Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup and a Spool of Thread

This was a cute story. I've cast about for many descriptions, but strangely enough, 'cute' is the one that fits it best. I am too old to read it, and, at the same time, not too old. It's just one of those books that you can always read, like Because of Winn-Dixie. I would recommend it to folks of all ages. It's like a fairy tale.
A wonderful fairy tale with just the right balance of unfortunate circumstances, humor, evil, and self-sacrificing love with rewarding victory at the end. Exercise caution with very young readers due to cruel treatment of a young girl in the book.
