Summary: | Here is a Norwegian reproduction of Country Mouse, City Mouse, published in 1978 by Walt Disney Productions. I found it in the only used book shop I could find in Bodø, and I found it only after long searching. All the art work is there, though the book manages to be thinner than the original American edition. Abner and Monty have become Petter and Fredrik. As I wrote then, this is a cute Disney version that strings the tale to some length. It dresses the mice, gives them names and even a mouse car that screeches around bigger cars. This version departs from the tradition in that the city mouse, Fredrik, likes the food in the country, but says that you have to work too hard to get it. The vacuum cleaner goes after the mice first in the city home, followed by a good cat. This book has a nostalgic air about it.
