Set against the backdrop of London's bustling streets, a unique alliance forms between Skilley, a street-smart cat, and Pip, a knowledgeable mouse. Skilley seeks a way out of his dreary life and agrees to safeguard the mice in exchange for their help. Their bond is put to the test when they become embroiled in a perilous situation that endangers the British monarchy, blending adventure and friendship in a richly illustrated tale.

In this playful homage to Charles Dickens, Skilley, an alley cat with an embarrassing secret, longs to escape his street-cat life. Hoping to trade London's damp alleyways for the warmth of ye olde Cheshire Cheese Inn, Skilley strikes a bargain with Pip, an erudite mouse. Skilley will protect the mice who live at the inn, and in turn, the mice will provide Skilley with the thing he desires most. But when Skilley and Pip are drawn into a crisis of monumental proportions, their new friendship is pushed to its limits. The escalating crisis threatens the peace not only of the Cheshire Cheese Inn but the entire British Monarchy! New York Times best-selling author Carmen Agra Deedy and coauthor Randall Wright collaborate on this compelling story set in Victorian England. With the artwork of award-winning illustrator Barry Moser, The Cheshire Cheese Cat is filled with charming characters and strong themes of friendship and loyalty.

The narrative offers a straightforward perspective on everyday life, grounded in real-life experiences. Through true stories, it captures the essence of common human experiences, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives and the shared journey of existence.
