Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books The Rescuers (The Rescuers #1)
I remember seeing The Rescuers film en francais back when I was in the third grade, but it took me until now to read the book. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, why am I reading a kids' book? Well, when it comes to great stories, I think you can be any age to read them. This one, a classic by Margery Sharp (she also wrote Something Light, another of my favorites), tells the story of a group of mice who decide to risk their lives in order to save a child. It's a story similar to The Rats of NIMH or Felidae, one sort of dark but still with wonderful characters and a brilliant ending. :)Point Books To The Rescuers (The Rescuers #1)

A simply charming little story that warms the heart. I loved it!Charming tale about three mice who are sent to rescue a prisoner from the black castle. Illustrations by Garth Williams who also drew for E.B. White's Stuart Little.
This was an amazing children's novel! I loved the movie adaptation; however, just like any adaptation, it is not always the same. There are similar characters and plot line but filled with adventure with Miss Bianca and Bernard.The main plot is Miss Bianca, Bernard, and Nils (a Norwegian mouse) is asked by the Prisoner's Aid Society to rescue an imprisoned poet. Do they succeed or not? Find out!
So after a tumble around The Hundred Acre Wood, I've made my way to 1977's, "The Rescuers." Personally, this is one of my all time favorite Disney movies, and if you asked my grandma (please feel free), it was the only movie I was interested in watching for a vast majority of my toddler years.The book definitely did not disappoint. We have our main characters, Bernard and Miss Bianca (also joined by Nils the Norwegian, who I found rather annoying). Now this is the first of nine novels, so
It's probably my fault for not doing my research, but I was expecting a novel of high-speed chases through swamps and a teddy bear with a diamond hidden in its stomach. Instead I got a group of mice breaking into a castle (what year is it?) to rescue a Norwegian poet. Hmmm...On top of it, Sharp is clearly deep in her own little world, but she is either a terrible writer or on drugs, because much of the book is incomprehensible, especially at the beginning.The illustrations were cute.
Miss Bianca enjoys her plush existence, living in her Porcelain Pagoda as the pampered pet of the Ambassador's son. But when word reaches the Prisoners' Aid Society that a Norwegian poet is locked up in the dreadful Black Castle, Madam Chairwoman knows that Miss Bianca's international connections and social savvy are just the thing to help free the prisoner. With the aid of the pantry mouse Bernard and the Norwegian sailor mouse Nils, Miss Bianca heads to the Black Castle to face dangers great
It's hard not to love Disney's representation of this novel. I mean, come on! Bernard and Miss Bianca are absolutely adorable and Madame Medusa is an absolute RIOT. With that fantastic representation in mind, this book was just alright. Disney did a fantastic job of taking something with "good bones" and turning it into something far more engaging and interesting. While I enjoyed the Mamelouk character and that exploration of Miss Bianca's cleverness, she was much more a damsel in distress in
