Into What Splendor

By: Jack Dublin

Narrated by: Liz May Brice

A farm cat and a barn owl wager on which of them will catch a sneaky, high-and-mighty field mouse first. What follows changes their lives forever.

"The Stoddard farm is a paradise because I make it so," declared Tyce—a field mouse—to the glowering West Ender in front of him. "That affords me leeway where the rules are concerned. It entitles me to a thicker slice of the apple."

So begins Into What Splendor, but not all the farm animals see it Tyce's way. Some say he has overstepped his bounds; others say his days are numbered. When a farm cat and a barn owl take matters into their own claws, the consequences ripple through the entire valley, upending a peaceful coexistence.

In the uneasy events that follow, the animals discover their lives are more entwined than they imagined. Together, they will rise or fall.
