New Legends of India

By Tamar Chachi-Baía do Santiago

I decided to start writing stories for children about mice, to protect them by making mice adorable. 'New Legends of India' is inspired by the lavish culture of the country in which thousands of legends exist. This is story about the little white mouse Pipa who dreamed of becoming a Queen in distant Udaipur in Rajasthan and how her dreams came true.In the 1st episode 'Pipa, a Nightingale and bat Pepe' bat Pepe tells Pipa legends which he learned from the swift Apus about a white mouse worshiped in India, and Pipa wonders if her dream can ever come through. Pipa rescues a swift and returns it to the sky and the swift promises to help her whenever she is in need. Pipa was being kept in a laboratory and a little brave grey mouse called Casper freed her and they married on Christmas Eve. It happened later that the whole mouse family was delivered to India by migrating swifts. They then took part in the festivals which happen very often in Udaipur and other sites of Rajasthan. There are many palaces, temples and castles in Udaipur inhabited by mice, all of whom dream after exile to return to the temple and to defeat the usurper queen. Everyone knows that the real queen is the successor of Adita, the favorite avatar of Aditi, Mother of the Sun.In the maiden garden, all the princesses gather to make a claim for the crown of the Queen of White Mice, Adita.There are stories of every candidate to be recognized as an heir of throne. A sage advises them to search for the real successor in one of the two white deserts of India.
