The Umbrella Mouse: A heart-stopping tale of courage, friendship, and resistance set against the backdrop of WWII.
1944, London. Young mouse Pip Hanway's world is turned upside down when her home, James Smith & Sons umbrella shop, is destroyed by a bomb. Orphaned and alone, she must begin a perilous quest to find a new home.
Her only hope lies in joining Noah's Ark, a secret gang of animals fighting with the French Resistance, operating beneath the feet of human soldiers. As the enemy closes in, Pip must risk everything to save her new friends.
Beautifully illustrated by Sam Usher, The Umbrella Mouse takes readers on an incredible journey through a war that reaches even the smallest of creatures. Winner of the 2019 Sainsbury's Book Prize for Fiction and a Waterstones Book of the Month, Fargher's debut novel draws on the true stories of animals caught in the conflict of WWII.
‘An ambitious and wonderfully well-achieved first novel.’ – Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse
‘A spellbinding tale of bravery and hope, where courage is found in the smallest of heroes.’ – Gill Lewis, author of Sky Hawk
Über die Autorinnen und Autoren:
Anna Fargher was raised in a creative hub on the Suffolk coast by an artist and a ballet teacher. She read English Literature at Goldsmiths before working in the British art world and opening her own gallery. She wrote her first book, The Umbrella Mouse, on her iPhone notepad during her daily commute on the London Underground, and it was selected as Waterstones Book of the Month. She is also the author of The Fire Cats of London. She splits her time between London and Suffolk where she is often found exploring the coastline and marshlands under the huge East Anglian skies.
Sam Usher graduated from the University of West England and his debut picture book Can You See Sassoon? was shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize and the Red House Children’s Book Award. He is particularly admired for his technical drawing skill and prowess with watercolour. Also a talented pianist, when he’s not holding a pen and wobbling at paper you’ll find him perfecting a fiendishly difficult piece of Chopin.
