Brie the mouse is caught in the paws of Gorgonzola the cat, facing certain death. How can he survive? Well, the cheese shop where they live is a source of great inspiration. The cheese labels tell stories of a world beyond their four walls . So Brie starts telling a riveting story, of princesses who don't want to be married, of cats that can turn into panthers, of a magical realm deep within a mountain and an extraordinary quest to break a spell .

Children will be dazzled by the extraordinarily detailed illustrations. This promises to be a book to treasure forever.
