    About this ebook

    Alice Mongoose and Alistair Rat love to eat. And they love to cook together. Naturally, they decide to open a restaurant. How much fun it will be!

    But on opening night, Alice and Alistair find that some customers are impossible to please, others are happy to eat everything in the pantry and squawk for more, and the entire endeavor is far too much for the two friends to manage. Their dream, they fear, has turned out to be a failure.

    Fortunately, with the help of their wise friend Pennie Pueo, Alice and Alistair are able to find a happy solution. The Alice Mongoose and Alistair Rat stories, by Mary Pfaff, "The Beatrix Potter of Hawaii," are classic tales of friendship, beloved to this day by children of all ages.

    Mary Pfaff

    Mary Pfaff, acclaimed as “the Beatrix Potter of Hawaii,” was born about 1875 in Brockton, Minnesota. At the age of twenty-two, she moved to Hawaii to work at the Hawaiian Gazette. There she met and married local businessman William Apana. Mary wrote and illustrated the Alice Mongoose stories to entertain their young daughter Mildred. William arranged to have Mary’s delightful sketches and stories printed as hardcover books. With this reissue of the original stories, a new generation of children can enjoy Alice and Alistair’s adventures on Hawaii’s Hamakua Coast.
