The Green Mouse

A humorous American novel. In New York in the early twentieth century, a ruined young man earns his living with magic tricks and trained animals, including mice dyed every colour; one of them, a green one, escapes into the studio of his neighbour Ethelinda, a young painter. Having become her husband, William Destyn invents a device that picks up “psychic currents” and connects two people destined for each other. With his wife and his sister-in-law Sacharissa, he founds a company, The Green Mouse, to get rich; but every trial leads to unexpected and comic encounters. A light fantasy that makes fun of science and love.
