Geronimo Stilton was born in Mysentia, the capital of Mouse Island, graduated from the department of mouse-rat philology at the University of Mysentia, and defended his dissertation on ancient philosophy. He heads the Echo of Mouse, the most influential printed organ on Mouse Island. In his free time, Geronimo collects 18th-century Parmesan rinds, but his main passion is writing books in which he describes his extraordinary adventures! Here, in Myshentsia, and throughout Mouse Island, these books become bestsellers. These are funny stories that are pleasant to the teeth, like hard Parmesan, enveloping, like soft mozzarella, and of course, original, like real Roquefort cheese! Four mice in the black jungle My friends, are you afraid of the dark? What about spiders or, say, cats? What about flying on airplanes? I was afraid too! A thousand mozzarellas, I was afraid to even leave the house! I was afraid to even go to the doctor, even though he was a luminary of mouse psychology! I was saved from these fears by a charming stranger who, to my horror, turned out to be an instructor of a survival course in the Black Jungle! After this course, where my restless relatives lured me with cunning and cunning, I had no choice but to stop being afraid of all of the above and much more. True, the doctor allowed me to be afraid of cats. I'm a mouse after all... And my name is Geronimo Stilton! Source:
