Miss Bianca (The Rescuers #2)
by Margery SharpHidden from all eyes within the cold, cruel splendors of her Diamond Palace, the evil Duchess has kidnapped into her service a little girl known as Patience. As soon as she hears of Patience's dreadful fate, Miss Bianca, the fabulous Embassy mouse, determines upon her rescue. Enlisting the aid of that venerable and worldwide organization, the Mouse Prisoners' Aid Society, she sets out to infiltrate the awesome Diamond Palace. But Miss Bianca discovers that there are more mysterious creatures than mice stirring beneath the diamond chandeliers of the great, glittering structure; and after an astonishing encounter completely upsets her brilliant plan, Miss Bianca is forced to perform unexpected and perilous exploits. Picture descriptions included.
Miss Bianca In The Orient (The Rescuers, #5)
by Margery SharpIt is not surprising that Miss Bianca takes to the splendors of the Orient like a fish to water. And it is not really surprising that she enraptures the opulent Oriental Ranee with her splendid rendition of "Le Camembert" on the harp. But it is astounding that Miss Bianca, a mouse of delicacy, accustomed to luxury, and dedicated to the higher pursuits, dares to take on the Royal Elephants alone! Her motive is the rescue of Willow, the unfortunate harem girl, and the pathetic page boy from being trampled to smithereens--as is the custom for the slightest offense to the Ranee. On top of that, Miss Bianca faces being drowned in rose water and then being stuffed by the Royal Taxidermist! But Miss Bianca, Perpetual Madam President of the M.P.A.S. (Mouse Prisoners' Aid Society) is as fearless and determined as she is elegant and cunning.
Miss Bianca and the Bridesmaid (The Rescuers, #7)
by Margery SharpOn the eve of the wedding of the Ambassadress's niece, the whole Embassy is thrown into confusion by the disappearance of the little bridesmaid. For without her bridesmaid, the bride simply refuses to go through with the wedding ceremony. So in the confusion that follows, everyone rushes to and fro, hither and thither, in a frantic search for the poor little girl. But to no avail. How lucky, then, that courageous Miss Bianca, president of the Mouse Prisoners' Aid Society--and loyal Bernard--arrive on the scene and personally take charge of the search. And what a search it turns out to be! Not only do they have to brave the many horrors of the main drain, but just at the height of their despair, they are confronted by the villainess herself! Of all Miss Bianca's adventures in the interests of prisoner-rescuing--in the Orient, in the Antarctic, in the Salt Mines, or in the Black Castle, this was to be the most frightening of all, because it happened at home...
Miss Bianca in the Antarctic (The Rescuers, #6)
by Margery SharpMiss Bianca, possibly the most daring and accomplished heroine in mouse history, in this latest adventure falls into the greatest peril of even her career. While on an errand of mercy to the Antarctic with her loyal companion Bernard, she is stranded midst desolate wastes untrodden by the foot of man, with not a hope of rescue. Even Miss Bianca is daunted by this, but she soon embarks on a whirl of activity, converting the collected works of Shakespeare into a shelter against the icy blast, attending a ball with a group of friendly penguins, and pitting her wits against those of the tyrannical Emperor Penguin. You will not be surprised to hear, though, that the ever resourceful Miss Bianca at last finds her way home again--by a most unexpected means.
Miss Bianca in the Salt Mines (The Rescuers, #4)
by Margery SharpBernard found the note inside the saltcellar--a beautiful early Georgian silver one. Scratched roughly on the scrap of paper were the words, "Someone please get me out of the salt mines. Teddy (age 8)'." The next evening, at the meeting of the M.P.A.S. (Mouse Prisoners' Aid Society), Miss Bianca called for volunteers. Preparations for the rescue would commence at once and be carried out even if Miss Bianca must make the journey alone. Bernard volunteered immediately, of course, but to their dismay, so did the crusty old Professor of Mathematics, later to be joined by the equally wobbly and disagreeable Professor of Geology. "Well, it's certainly going to be a rum rescue party," said Bernard grimly, "with half of it barely able to stand on its feet!" PIctures are described.
