Book Description
Chester is a foolish, immature mouse from the mean streets and alleyways of Liverpool. Unlike any other rodent around here Chester lacks the natural instincts to keep himself out of danger. Chester is a magnet for trouble and calamity, often placing himself, and therefore those he cares about, directly in harms way. In a characteristic show of stupidity Chester brings about the demise of a dear friend, Giblet. Whilst mourning that loss Chester's world is turned upside down, as the derelict house he calls home is ripped apart by builders sent to restore the old shell to its former glory. Panic-stricken, every mouse seeks sanctuary wherever they can, whilst Chester jumps straight into one of the builders toolboxes. For the first time Chester is forced to leave behind the only home he has ever known, and is thrust into a terrifying world where even the wiliest mouse would never dare tread. Confronted by Humans, Cats and an army of mice under the rule of the dictatorial Victor, Chester must summon up the courage to lead a small band of new found friends, including the beautiful Arabella, to escape the endless perils that they are subjected to. So begins a thrilling journey where danger lurks every step of the way as they attempt to return to the safety of Liverpool.

Book Description
This is the autobiography of a working-class boy who became an Oxford professor. A.H. Halsey was born in Kentish Town, London, in 1923 - a railway child in a large clan. The family moved in 1926 to Rutland and then to Northamptonshire because the father had been wounded in the Great War. Halsey 'won the scholarship' to Kettering Grammar School in 1933, left school at 16, went into the RAF as a pilot cadet. The metaphor of travel through time and space is maintained throughout this autobiography. The story begins with daily walks past canal boats in Oxford, flashes to the Pacific to Hong Kong and China, and then to a glimpse of death in the John Radcliffe Hospital, promising to explain the whole journey from a council housing estate to a professorial chair at Oxford.
