Description

Lucien the mouse had found the perfect home: a wedge of cheese large enough to live in and delicious enough to eat, slowly, one room at a time. He had already finished the hallway and was making steady progress on the pantry, though he planned to keep the front door intact for appearances, and possibly the roof.

From his doorway he peeked out at the kitchen, whiskers twitching, quite certain nobody had noticed him, though the cook had been leaving crumbs on purpose for weeks. This porcelain mouse peers from his wedge of cheese just like Lucien, and when the box opens, a tiny plate and spoon wait inside, laid out for his next meal. It’s a whimsical gift for a fromage enthusiast, a little one who loves bedtime tales of mice, or a collector of tiny surprises. On a kitchen dresser or a nursery bookshelf, it is guaranteed to make guests smile.
