Summary
—A Newbery Medal Winner
Mrs. Frisby, a widowed mouse with four small children, is faced with a terrible problem. She must move her family to their summer quarters immediately, or face almost certain death. But her youngest son, Timothy, lies ill with pneumonia and must not be moved.
Fortunately, she encounters the rats of NIMH, an extraordinary breed of highly intelligent creatures, who come up with a brilliant solution to her dilemma. And Mrs. Frisby in turn renders them a great service.

Just as good as I remembered
I read this book as a child and it made a big impression. I wasn't disappointed - such a lovely story - and beautifully read. Loved it!

Classic Morality Tale
Genius writing. A touch slow to start, but soon ticks along at a lick, with tales of morality so beautifully weaved between the strands of narrative that the kids don’t notice.

Just the tonic I needed!
I first read the story in my primary shool years. Never too any head, but something about it stuck with me.
Now listening at 37yrs old, it just opened up to me. At a time I was struggling to stick to a book, this came to mind.
what a wonderful story, including everything one needs, from hope, dispear and friendship.
Truly an amazing adventure.

Stunning story, beautifully narrated.
A stunning story. I am grateful to have uncovered it through browsing the audible plus catalogue and will be looking out some more Robert C O'BRIEN books to listen to, and getting a paper copy of this one to read to my junior school aged son.
