Condition Report: New. The softcover binding remains exceptionally bright and crisp, with sharp corners and uncreased wrappers that exhibit no notable shelf-wear. The structural integrity of the spine is remarkably tight, and the cover gloss remains entirely unrubbed, suggesting it is unread or has been handled with great care. Internally, while the text block is not visible, the clean exterior edges point to a vibrant, unmarked interior that is entirely free from damp or oxidation.

Catalogue Note: This is the 40th Anniversary edition of Graham Oakley’s beloved Christmas tale, originally published in 1980. This modern quarto softcover reprint retains all the richly detailed, full-colour illustrations that characterise Oakley's work.

As a contemporary mass-market reprint, it remains common on the open market. It serves as an excellent reading-grade copy for those seeking to enjoy the classic without the premium of a true first printing.

When Arthur and Humphrey decide to rally the church mice of Wortlethorpe into having a Christmas party, the result is a series of festive disasters. Little do they know that their well-intentioned chaos will eventually lead to the capture of a burglar—and a spectacular reward hamper filled with all a mouse could ever dream of!

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
