SIX white mice...
In a little village by a wide river and in the shadow of a castle on a hill, bad things are happening...
A greedy king and spoilt queen meet their match when a band of magical performers, two brave children, and six white mice revolt. This wonderful fairytale includes elements of greed, trust, friendship, bravery and all-conquering love. Enjoy Six White Mice's daring rescues, magical performances and a heroic ending. Follow the map to find each performer, who have also hidden the mice from the greedy king's soldiers - so you must seek high and low to find the little creatures! Mark their hiding places on your map - but keep it safe and sound from the soldiers' prying eyes!
