The Night-Time Cat and the Plump Grey Mouse

Tax included.

It's a dark, dark night in Trinity College ...

The night-time cat, Pangur Bán, sneaks out of the Book of Kells, on the prowl for a plump, grey mouse.

She searches the library, Front Square, the theatre, the rugby field, the rooftop, the swimming pool, and even underground.

But nobody can help her find the mouse - not even the ghosts of Oscar Wilde, Dracula, and the Queen of England!

Will Pangur Bán ever catch that mouse?
