We're delighted to remind you of this beloved book on its thirtieth birthday. <p/>Jenny and her city-mouse friends take to the seas in search of a more peaceful place to live. But when they arrive at what first seems the island of their dreams, they have a giant problem to contend with: the island's only inhabitant, the Skog.
