Hi, and welcome to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. This novel centers around a colony of escaped lab rats, the rats of NIMH. They live in a technologically sophisticated and literate society mimicking that of humans. They come to the aid of Mrs. Frisby, a field mouse who seeks to protect her children and home from destruction by a farmer's plow.



Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH 

Introduction to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH

Emma: So, Mark, I detect an American accent. Are you from the States?

Mark: Yes, that's right. Have you ever been there?

Emma: No, but I've always wanted to go. Whereabouts do you come from in the States?

Mark: Well, I was born and brought up in San Diego. How about you? Did you grow up in London?

Emma: No, actually, I come from Brighton originally.

Mark: What exactly are you doing in London?

Emma: Iwork as an assistant for a television studio. It's pretty cool because I get to meet a lot of interesting people. I also get on really well with my colleagues, and I've made a lot of friends.

Mark: Sounds interesting. How long are you here for?

Emma: I'm here until the summer. Then I intend to go backpacking around Europe.

Mark: Great.

Emma: How about you? What line of work are you in?

Mark: Actually, I'm a student. I'm doing a Master's degree in architecture. I hope to work for an architectural firm in London when I graduate.

Emma: Oh, that's interesting. I imagine you must be a very creative person.
Mark: Well, I try to be.

Emma: How long have you been studying in London?
Mark: About a year, though it seems much longer.

Emma: How do you like the city?

Mark: I love it. There's such a variety of things to see and do. I'm not too keen on the weather, though.

Emma: Yes, it's been a pretty wet summer this year. Even by London standards. What's the weather like in San Diego at this time of year?

Mark: Oh, it's pretty sunny right now. So, what do you like doing in your spare time?

Emma: Well, recently, I've taken up yoga, so I've been spending quite a bit of time practicing it. Apart from that, I enjoy reading, going out and visiting museums and occasionally going to concerts.

Mark: Oh, really? What kind of music are you into?

Emma: Mainly rock. Though I listen to jazz and classical sometimes.
