The Mouse of Amherst
by Elizabeth Spires

Introduction

This is a wonderful story about a mouse that lives in Emily Dickinson's house. It reads her poetry and writes some of its own. Dickinson's poems were discovered after her death neatly tied up in small bundles in her desk drawer. She is considered one of America's greatest poets.
