Mylee Melee is a clever, sleek, silver-grey cat; her constant companion is Humphrey, a tiny field-mouse whose coat is, unusually, all grey; for he is a special little mouse; together they live in Mother Cranberry's warm and cosy kitchen at Long Furrow Farm. Mother Cranberry has watched this friendship since the tiny mouse scuttled in one cold and windy night, when the kitchen door blew open, snuggled up against Mylee Melee's warm fur and slept, with one eye always open; and took up residence, the next day, in a tiny hole in the skirting board. Mother Cranberry is not at all concerned that the little mouse lives in his tiny mouse-hole home behind her kitchen skirting board because she sees what a strong bond of friendship her beloved cat and this tiny mouse have between them. Mylee Melee is strong, fast on her long slender legs, brave, clever and quick thinking. Humphrey is a tiny field mouse; nimble on his little legs, always alert and often anxious for he has a special ability, beyond that of any of the other creatures, to sense any threat of danger. Together Mylee Melee and Humphrey face many adventures at Long Furrow Farm; this story is one of them........and then! What is to follow?
