The unpublished 'Mervyn' and other stories
Sylvia Creche is the author and creator of the ever-popular Mervyn Mouse.

This lovable, furry little rodent first made an appearance in 1972, published simply as 'Mervyn' by Creche Publications and illustrated by Geoff Ball.

In 1980 'Mervyn Mouse' was added to Ladybird series 401 - this was the first book to be added to the series after a 24 year resting period, and this time the illustrations were by Roger Twinn.

After years of regular contact with Sylvia Creche, The Wee Web have now been given special permission to publish, on our website, the unpublished Mervyn Mouse stories.

Not only do we get a little more of Mervyn but Sylvia has also generously allowed us to display some other of her unpublished bedtime stories.


A few years after the publication of further Mervyn Mouse books, namely: Mervyn Mouse Goes Camping, Mervyn Mouse At The Fair, Mervyn Mouse Joins The Sports Club and Mervyn Mouse At The Zoo, I came up with these.

The following three Mervyn Mouse stories have not been published, but have lain in my Mervyn file for many years, until their debut here on The Wee Web....

ENJOY!
Best wishes,

Sylvia Creche
