Our Review

A brilliant mouse detective who lives in Sherlock Holmes's basement tackles thrilling mysteries in this classic series that inspired Disney's The Great Mouse Detective. Basil of Baker Street, a mastermind in his own right, has learned his craft by observing the famous human detective, and he applies his sharp intellect to baffling cases alongside his steadfast friend and chronicler, Dr. Dawson. These clever animal stories are packed with suspenseful adventures, narrow escapes, and clever deductions that will captivate young readers who love a good puzzle.

The charm of these tales lies in the delightful parallel world where mice have their own society and villains, mirroring the classic Sherlock Holmes stories with wit and ingenuity. Young mystery enthusiasts will be drawn to the intricate plots and Basil's brilliant problem-solving, while parents will appreciate the classic storytelling and positive themes of friendship and using one's wits. This collection offers a wonderful gateway into detective fiction, providing hours of engaging, intelligent fun for the whole family.
