The Hither and Yon
"Within the kingdom walls was a dreamer,
who's dreams carried him to lands far away.
Where wild imagined heroic flights,
and thrilling sword battles with dark knights,
were the aspirations of a blacksmith mouse named Chevalier..."

The young Princess Faere of the land of The Shire, betrothed to Prince Charming of the Land Ever After, has been mysteriously kidnapped. And all the evidence of the foul deed points to The Far, Far Away.
With his kingdom on the verge of war with Ever After, Chevalier the mouse (a blacksmith who yearns for adventure and fancies himself a dashing "mouseketeer") vows to find the missing Princess, bring her back in time to stop the war between the kingdoms--And fulfill his destiny.
"Chevalier The Queen's Mouseketeer: The Hither and Yon". Book one of a four book series of Fantasy Books for Kids. It's a fabled fairy tale of enor-mouse proportions. The perfect Bedtime Stories Children's Fantasy Books for Early & Beginner Readers.

REVIEWS:
"This book is gorgeous. Set in the magical land of the Hither and Yon and it's equally magical neighbors, Monique MacNaughton's artwork nicely compliments Darryl Hughes' tale of a young mouse who yearns to be a hero and how he gets his start, despite his tiny stature. As becomes obvious by the end, this is but the beginning of a series. Chevalier is going to have all the opportunity for derring do he ever wanted, and maybe even more then he bargained for. I certainly intend to be along for the rest of his adventures." -- Kay Shapero, Ursa Major Awards
"It's polished artwork and timeless storytelling makes this a book that can be enjoyed by young and old readers alike." -- The Drunk Duck Awards 2013
"Beautiful art. I really envy it's wonderful narration. Definitely appeals to all ages." -- The Drunk Duck Awards 2014

This book was not only adorable it was beautiful to behold. A mouse who wants to be like the Musketeers so he lives in their shadow, watching their every move so he can learn to be a hero like them The graphics are truly remarkable, all the females look different, and that add visual pleasure and charm.It is told in sweet rhymes and flows nicely So I give it my best thumbs up

Rhyming children's book.
Author freebie. Suitable for all ages. Good color artwork. A simple rhyming tale of a mouse, and how he wishes to serve the kingdom.

The storyline and rhyming are fantastic and the pictures are absolutely adorable as well in this modern retelling of the classic fairy tale fantasy adventure of prince wins princess, prince loses princess, and young blacksmith mouse with dreams of a life of high adventure goes on a heroes quest to save the missing princess before his fairy tale realm spirals into war. Classic.

Ehh. I will not continue to read it. Too bland. Nice try, but no thanks.
Kids might like it. Just not my cup of tea. I prefer coffee.
