Barbara Caruso appeals to the listener's sympathy while telling the award-winning tale of a widowed mouse's attempt to save her family and home from a farmer's plow. Her motherly concern begs compassion as Mrs. Frisby determinedly tries to avoid tragedy. As she seeks help from the rats of NIHM, the mood shifts and Caruso assumes the role of the rat leader, Nicodemus. In wise and stoic speech, the narrator reveals the history and future of this unique civilization while members of the colony devise a plan to help Mrs. Frisby. Young adult listeners will be glued to Caruso's spellbinding performance. M.P.T. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
