The Levenger Company has made Despereaux bookends, and they are fabulous. I have books all over the house and am desperately in need of bookends, but I’ve been displaying my bookend in an east-facing window, like a statue. I like to come out in the morning, when I am done with the writing and journaling and look at the mouse climbing the stairs, small, determined, the sun shining behind him. I look at him and I think: okay, I will try again tomorrow. And so the bookend is, I suppose, functioning as a bookend: the mouse is propping up me and my hope of telling stories.
