How do you rescue a rat who'd rather be relaxing?! Find out in this
hilarious caper from Lily Roscoe and Tony Neal Rita 'Roberella' Rat
is the leader of The Rat Burglars - they're tough, they're cool,
they're rats. And along with the rest of the gang, life for The Rat
Burglars is pretty sweet. Until one day, Hold-em'-Up Harry is
mistaken for a pet hamster and given to a kid who calls him . . .
Snuggle Puff Rainbow Muffin. Could there be anything worse? The Rat
Burglars know they have to save Harry, and FAST, but with all the
free food, fun exercise wheel, and lullabies, will Harry WANT to be
saved?
The advice given to Cicero by his astute, campaign-conscious
brother to prepare him for the consular elections of 64 B.C., has a
curiously modern ring: "Avoid taking a definite stand on great
public issues either in the Senate or before the people. Bend your
energies towards making friends of key-men in all classes of
voters". On this text Professor Taylor's book is a shrewd
commentary, designed to clarify the true meaning in Roman political
life of such terms as "party" and "faction", so like our own to the
eye but actually so different. Political parties with programs in
our sense were unknown at Rome, the nearest approach being
aggregations of "friends" for personal advancement in politics or
finance. The mechanics of Roman politics are explained in detail -
the relations of nobles and their clients, the manipulation of the
state religion (always regarded in the best Roman theory as a
political agency), and the practical issue of delivering the vote
as and when wanted.
