A mouse named Despereaux was born into a family of mice living in an ancient royal castle. Unlike his relatives, he had a brave and noble heart, and he also loved to read and listen to music. One day, he saw Princess Pea and fell in love with her. And when the insidious rats lured the princess into a dark dungeon by cunning, Despereaux, like a knight in shining armor, saved her from certain death.
