Skilley, an alley cat with an embarrassing secret, longs to
escape his hard life dodging fishwives brooms and carriage
wheels and trade his damp alley for the warmth of the
Cheshire Cheese Inn. When he learns that the innkeeper is
looking for a new mouser, Skilley comes up with an audacious
scheme to install himself in the famous tavern. Once
established in the inn, Skilley strikes a bargain with Pip,
the intelligent mouse-resident, and his fellow mice. Skilley
protects the mice and the mice in turn give to Skilley the
delectable Cheshire cheese of the inn. Thus begins a most
unlikely alliance and friendship. The cat and mouse design a
plan to restore Maldwyn wounded raven and faithful guard in
the service of Queen Victoria to his rightful place in The
Tower, but first they must contend with a tyrannical cook, a
mouse-despising barmaid, and an evil tomcat named Pinch.
Will the famous author suffering from serious writer s block
who visits the Cheshire Cheese pub each day be able to help?
