Marcel & the Shakespeare Letters, Easystart, Pearson English Readers - Stephen Rabley (1996)
[Penguin Readers Level 1 #5]

Genre: Fiction/ Children/ Graded Readers/ Level 1
Pages: 16
Rating: 7/10

Theme: Anthropomorphism/ Justice/ Espionage/ Friendship

Opener:
“Marcel is a French mouse. He is a detective, and he lives in Paris. But Marcel doesn’t live in Paris all year. Every November he visits London. His old friend — Henry — has a small flat there.”

Summary:
British English Marcel visits his friend, Henry, in London. Henry knows a professor and he has some very interesting letters — by William Shakespeare! Marcel and Henry want to see the letters, but they are not in the professor's flat. Marcel and Henry chase after a New York-bound suspect in pursuit of the missing letters.

Final review:
This detective Marcel is one hell of a character. His detective adventure across London to retrieve Shakespeare's letters in this book is imaginative. I like anthropomorphized animal stories. This was no exception.
