A STORY — Author Gwyn Whilsmith reads from her book "Melrose Maximillian Fieldmouse" to Benjamin and Jenna Rader and their mother Shirley, who typed the story. Local columnist writes children's story about travelling fieldmouse Columnist Gwyn Whilsmith has written a children's story and compil- ed it into a small hook. It's about a mouse called Melly who lives in the trunk of a car and travels all over with the owner Bob. Mrs. Whilsmith says she got the idea while visiting her son, Robert, in Alberta last year, when she discovered there was a mouse in his car. After an attempt to catch it fail- ed because the trap was too old and worn out, the mouse was left to its own devices. "The more i thought about that sil- ly mouse riding around with Robert everywhere he went, the more I thought it would make a fun story for his two little girls," explains Mrs. Whilsmith. She discussed the idea with her brother-in-law, Frank Whilsmith of Toronto. a retired commercial artist, and he agreed to do some illustrations to go with the story. Then. she com- mandeered the expertise of a friend, Shirley Rader. Zurich, for the typeset- ting so the story could be put into book form. Although it just started out as a Christmas present for her two small grand daughters, Mrs. Whilsmith had some copies made up for a few friends and received such an enthusiastic response that she decided to print a limited number for sale. The story is suitable for children from ages four to eight, and the author admits she has several other tales running around in her head about the little mouse who travels to interesting places with Bob.
