By David Petersen First published in 2006 as a six-issue comics series, Mouse Guard quickly became a surprise hit, enchanting readers of all ages. Though its beautiful artwork and engaging animal heroes recall the work of Beatrix Potter, its storytelling has all the dark grandeur of The Lord of the Rings. A thrilling story of heroism, loyalty, and betrayal, Mouse Guard is a major fantasy epic - in miniature. Villard's magnificent trade paperback edition collects the entire six-issue series and features an epilogue, mpas, and an inside look at the world of Mouse Guard - plus a treasure trove of never-before-published bonus materials.
