A conscientious little mouse builds herself a house in a cabbage. Suitors crowd around, incredulous: a house and no husband? Judging them by their ability to sing, the mouse rejects them all... until this harmless kitten, with a gentle purr. Inexorably, the kitten becomes a cat, and true to its nature, ends up devouring his mouse-wife. This feminist fable explores the dangers of domestic life and celebrates artistic creation. The tight, captivating prose dialogues with the refined and striking images of Violeta Lópiz.
