This month Minnie is exploring the alphabet by digging out the unusual, often unexplained and alternative way of thinking. Stories of creatures, places and mysteries that have been passed down to us through centuries tease our imagination, live in our dreams and dare us to explore the impossible. Join Minnie each day as she discovers something unusual in the alphabet.
Have you ever encountered one of these furry creatures with viking blood? How do you feel about mice in general? Only four more letters to go in the challenge, how are you holding out?

The Vikings brought animals including horses and sheep on their long boats, and the sexually active house mice must have crept on-board too.
