The intrepidMiss Bianca embarks upon the
most perilous mission of her career in Miss
BiancaintheAntarctic, the sixth chronicle
of her adventures by Margery Sharp. Newly
retired as Perpetual Madam President and
Secretary, respectively, of the Mouse Prison-
ers' Aid Society, Miss Bianca and her stalwart
right-hand-mouse Bernard settle down for a
life of well-deserved peace and quiet, when
who should re-enter their lives but Nils, the
valiant Norwegian sailor-mouse from their ad-
ventures in The Rescuers.
His news is most distressing: the Poet is in
trouble again! Saved from the Black Castle
in The Rescuers, the Poet has joined a Scien-
—
tific Expedition to the Antarctic and has
become trapped there, a prisoner of whirl-
winds and breaking ice fields. Duty is clear;
the Poet must be saved again! But how?
As Miss Bianca and Bernard set out to brave
the perils of the icy Antarctic, little do they
realize the ever greater dangers in store for
them. Blizzards, polar bears, penguins and
temperatures cold enough to freeze a mouse
stiff as a board all unite to make Miss Bianca
in the Antarctic the most exciting tale ever
in the annals of the Mouse Prisoners' Aid
Societv.
