Oh, stop! This little mouse – William Brambleberry – is just too cute. Not only does the book feature illustrations of sweet little William who declares he’ll be ‘the bravest, most adventurous aviator mouse in all the world’, it also comes with a delightful plushie version of William complete with bomber jacket, soft pilot ‘helmet’, and flying goggles. Win. Win. WIN.

William Brambleberry lives in Perranporth in the UK and watches planes take off and land each day. William likes the Spitfires best. He sets out to prove his family and friends wrong when they tell him that a mouse can’t be an Air Force pilot and boy does he show them! After William sneaks into the airbase, he is discovered by three men in the 453 Squadron from Australia. Over time, William learns all about flying is eventually given a tiny plane of his own to pilot.

The Adventures of William Brambleberry: Aviator Mouse is a story about the Air Force, history, Spitfires and fighter planes. It’s dedicated to the brave men and women of the Australian Defence Force and is the first book in a series of three. While it harkens back to the time of immense bravery and sacrifice during WWII, the story also resonates today by showing that even the smallest person – or creature – can be brave and achieve their dreams.

NB: Keep an eye out for our William Brambleberry Competition in coming weeks where you could win a copy of the book and the William plushie!!!!
