A brave mouse, a covetous rat, a wishful serving girl, and a princess named Pea come together in Kate DiCamillo's Newbery Medal–winning tale. Welcome to the story of Despereaux Tilling, a mouse who is in love with music, stories, and a princess named Pea. It is also the story of a rat called Roscuro, who lives in the darkness and covets a world filled with light. And it is the story of Miggery Sow, a slow-witted serving girl who harbors a simple, impossible wish. These three characters are about to embark on a journey that will lead them down into a horrible dungeon, up into a glittering castle, and, ultimately, into each other's lives. What happens then? As Kate DiCamillo would say: Reader, it is your destiny to find out. With black-and-white illustrations and a refreshed cover by Timothy Basil Ering. Review: Daughter loved it - I bought this book to read with my child, and it quickly became one of our favorites. The story is creative, heartwarming, and full of memorable characters. Despereaux is a brave little mouse who teaches valuable lessons about courage, kindness, forgiveness, and staying true to yourself. What I enjoyed most is that the book doesn't talk down to young readers. It has enough depth to keep adults interested while still being easy for children to follow. The writing is beautiful, and there were several moments that led to great conversations with my child about making good choices and treating others with compassion. The chapters are a good length for bedtime reading, and the story kept us wanting to read "just one more chapter" each night. Whether you're buying it for a classroom, your child, or as a gift, this is a book that deserves a spot on the shelf. A wonderful story that both kids and adults can enjoy. Review: Intriguing and almost impossible to put down! - Absolutely excellent! Kate DiCamillo is an excellent author of children’s literature! Love all of her books. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #525 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Children's Mouse, Hamster, Guinea Pig & Squirrel Books #12 in Children's Folk Tales & Myths (Books) #20 in Fantasy for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 7,565 Reviews | ## Images ![The Tale of Despereaux - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91EigmQLOKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daughter loved it *by C***P on June 10, 2026* I bought this book to read with my child, and it quickly became one of our favorites.
