Diary Inside a Mousehole

Fred opened a book on the table, and started reading.

27 May of the 15th year of [the reign of King] Cyril

I, John of the Broken Hill, have survived. I have eaten an enchanted cake, and have been reduced to the size of a mouse. If anyone finds this, he will know what I mean.

Fred continued reading...

1. I have found that the mice here are fighting a civil war. The brown mice are allied with the dragon, and the black mice are allied with -------. (The word is blotted out.)
2. I have found, much to my amazement, a little kingdom in what I thought was a mousehole.
