Voila! Anatole, the Mouse Magnifique is back, and author Eve Titus involves him in some wild and wonderful doings. He travels to Italy because Duval's friend Vivaldi is being forced out of the cheese business. Are the Brothers Borgia the villains?

Anatole becomes a cheese detective, and investigates. Despite dangers, he goes bravely on, even seeking help from the cats of Rome! Will he save Signor Vivaldi? What about poor Luigi, the kind-hearted carousel owner???

With works of art, music, Italian chees, and plots within plots, all set in beautiful Rome, here is another exciting, fun-filled Anatolian adventure. And Paul Galdone's delightful drawings bring out all the Gallic charm of the story.
