WHO IS GERONIMO STILTON?
"I’m a man - that is, a mouse - and rather a scatterbrain mouse at that: my head is always in the clouds. I own a publishing company, but actually my favourite pastime is writing stories. In Mousatia, the capital city of Mouse Island, all my books are best-sellers! They sell millions of copies! My stories are wickedly funny, sweeter than fresh mozzarella and tangier than ripe gorgonzola… they’re stories you can sink your teeth into. You have my word of honour on that, and Geronimo Stilton is an honourable mouse!

HAVE YOU EVER VISITED MOUSE ISLAND?
It’s an unusual island, shaped like a slice of cheese and located somewhere in the Southern Rattic Ocean. It’s a nature reserve where rodents live safe, happy lives… The capital city is Mousatia, which is where I, Geronimo Stilton, live! Mousatia is also where my adventures take place: true stories that really happened to me! I swear it on my rodent’s honour! You have Geronimo Stilton’s word on that! They’re funny tails. Strange, over the top, almost incredible tails. But above all they are humorous tails… You don’t believe me? Just read one! Or how about visiting me at my website? We’ll have loads of fun!
