There's a new shade in vogue: silver is the new black. Women everywhere are falling for the sophisticated charms of this increasingly visible species - the silver fox. Take a trip to the cinema and there's gorgeous George Clooney smiling at you with his salt and pepper charm, Harrison Ford with his shimmering locks, Sean Connery with that white-silver tonsure. Turn on your TV and there's a shiny array of them; Des Lynam and Parky, John Slattery as Roger Sterling in Mad Men, endless re-runs of Inspector Morse, Larry Lamb in Eastenders. 
 
All your favourites and more are packed into this treat of a book. You won't be able to resist: there's only one reason Monica Lewinsky kept returning to the Oval Office - it's the silver fox charm.

Crumbs! Danger Mouse’s most sensitive, scintillating and secret operations have been revealed for the first time in this top-secret dossier. Kept under lock and key at MI5 (or is it MI6? One of the Mouse Intelligence agencies, anyway...) for over 35 years, finally discover how DM saves London, the world and, most importantly, Penfold in fantastically absurd adventures. 
 
Be shocked and surprised, amazed and astounded by stories including the audacious theft of a chunk of ozone; the planned sabotage of the Royal wedding; and a sinister attempt by Jeremy Beagle to take over the airwaves. 
 
Cor blimey!

Danger Mouse: Declassified

Rev'd Dr Eramus St Jude Croom DD

The best libraries in Victorian Britain kept this tome under lock and key, permitting access only to doctors and professors. Scotland Yard had a copy in their reference library, and even Sherlock Holmes may have had recourse to a copy in certain investigations. In private collections across the English speaking world, it was kept on top shelves, or safely stowed in locked cabinets, beyond the reach of minors, domestics and spouses. Any woman who gazed upon its pages was said to have fainted away. The church campaigned to have it banned and the German translation was burned at Nuremberg. Many antiquarian book sellers believe the book to have been a myth, others claimed it changed hands at enormous cost, and some are certain all original copies are now lost. But Curious Pleasures does exist and is back in print - nearly a century since it's last apocryphal edition. This encyclopaedic treasure of adult pleasures, dysfunctions and unacceptable female behaviour has been fully restored with the original illustrations intact. In modern hands, this forbidden work of scholarly madness will prove hilarious.
