The Adventures of Mooty was first published as a 10-part series of children’s stories in 1980, depicting the adventures of a loveable little mouse who endears himself to a community of animals, birds and insects and becomes their hero.

Four decades on, Mooty continues to charm children and adults alike.

Author Jessie's reflections on Mooty Has a Son: The arrival of Mooty's son completes Mooty's little family and I saw it as a fitting conclusion to the series. However, it slipped my mind that mice have litters when I wrote the story until a friend pointed it out to me long after the stories were published. It was too late by then!
