Delightfully Useless

I say - you love children's books and Sherlock Holmes, have you read the Basil of Baker Street series by Eve Titus? It's about a mouse detective named Basil and his sidekick Dr Dawson who live under the floorboards at 221B Baker Street. The Disney cartoon "The Great Mouse Detective" was based on it, but the books are so much better.

And the illustrator, Paul Galdone, draws the world's cutest mice. Seriously adorable!
