THE CHURCH MOUSE (Templar, September 2008)
Arthur the church mouse likes living in Wortlethorpe vestry, with Samspon the church cat to keep him company. But he misses the company of other mice and takes it upon himself to invite some other mice to move in with him. When the church is overrun with mice, the congregation are not very keen on the idea of sharing their church with so many mice and it looks like Sampson will have to put away his brotherly love and earn his keep. But the arrival of a thief one night, intent on stealing the silver altar candlesticks spurs Sampson, Arthur and co into action and only they can save the day.
