Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Grasshopper Green and the Meadow Mice" by John Rae is a charming children's book, likely written in the early 20th century. This delightful tale follows the adventures of Grasshopper Green, who, after a carefree summer of fiddling and dancing, finds himself unprepared for the harshness of winter. The story underscores themes of kindness, generosity, and friendship through the experiences of the titular Grasshopper and a family of Meadow Mice. In this heartwarming narrative, Grasshopper Green is rescued by the Meadow Mouse family when he is left homeless and cold by the refusal of an ant to take him in. Grateful for their hospitality, Grasshopper Green enjoys cozy evenings with the Meadow Mice, sharing meals and music. However, the peace is threatened when Mouser, the farmer's cat, invades their home. Demonstrating bravery and resourcefulness, Grasshopper Green uses magic pellets to grow to a larger size, scaring off the cat and ultimately becoming a hero in the eyes of his newfound friends. The book celebrates the importance of community and the rewards of helping those in need.
