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.
