You might remember I recently watched the two "Rescuers" Disney movies.

I also mentioned that they're based on books that are sadly out of print due to their age.

Well, look at this, I got a collected issue of the first three books at least. Slightly scratched cover, but that's fine.

So, now I can see how close, if at all, the movies are to the source material.

I'll keep on liking the movies, either way, though. 🙂

Book cover listing the three names of the combined books:
"The Rescuers", "Miss Bianca" and "The Turret" by Margery Sharp with illustrations by Garth Williams.

The book is kept in a pastel green. The cover image shows three small mice standing on their hind legs looking at a tiny map on a kind of tiny table. Obe mouse is white and points at a point of the map, another is black and the third one is also mostly black and either wears some kind of limp, pointed hat or a kind of woven, ponytail hairstyle.

The room in which they're reading the map is lit with a candle about twice the upright size of the mice.

Wow, I learned a new word today!! Grangerize! From Margery Sharp's The Eye of Love.

grangerize (ˈɡreɪndʒəˌraɪz) or grangerise

1. (Printing, Lithography & Bookbinding) to illustrate (a book) by inserting prints, drawings, etc, taken from other works
2. (Printing, Lithography & Bookbinding) to raid (books) to acquire material for illustrating another book

Screenshot from a book to illustrate this sentence:

"It was bodily an old Burke’s Peerage; Mr Punshon greatly enjoyed grangerising it with rude cartoons about the House of Lords."
