Product description
The King and the Mouse is a delightful tale which teaches children about leadership, lending a helping hand (or set of teeth!) and the power of friendship. The story has been adapted from the popular collection of animal fables known as Kalila wa Dimna, first translated into Arabic during the 8th Century CE from an earlier Pahlavi translation of an ancient Sanskrit collection of animal stories titled Pañcatantra, or The Fables of Bidpai.
