Publisher Description
Baker Street Mice — Beware!
So far the twins are safe. They’ll stay that way if you do what we say. We’ve decided to make your Baker Street cellar the headquarters for our gang. Everybody must be out in 48 hours. It’s Basil’s job to move you all out, just the way he moved you in. Better make it fast! And leave the furniture — we need it.
This is the only warning you’ll get. And listen — if you don’t follow our orders, you’ll never set eyes on those twins again!

“Lively music and Ralph Lister’s rousing narration enhance this charming story, written in 1958 and set in 1885 London… Lister’s mice all have English accents. While Basil sounds strong and confident, Dr. Dawson sometimes has a puzzled tone, and ‘mousekeeper’ Mrs. Judson is humorous and outspoken. The parents of the kidnapped twins sound appropriately distraught. Listeners will enjoy accompanying the duo as they hop on hansom cabs or trains and hearing vivid descriptions that add to the Victorian atmosphere.”
