WEDNESDAY, June 4th at 7pm: THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX Begins

"The World is dark, and light is precious.
Come closer, dear reader.
You must trust me.  
I am telling you a story"

The Tale of Despereaux is a 2004 Newbery Medal winning fantasy book written by Kate DiCamillo. The main plot follows the adventures of a mouse named Despereaux Tilling, as he sets out on his quest to rescue a beautiful human princess. The novel is divided into four "books," (meaning a new point of view) chapters, and a coda. Each "book" tells the story from the perspective of a different character: Despereaux, Roscuro, Miggery Sow, and all together.
