	"Mole lived all alone underground.  He spent his days digging tunnels and his evenings watching TV -- but his life seemed somehow unfulfilled.  One day he decides to play the violin, and slowly creates his own music that reaches the disharmonious world and brings people a peace of mind." This best-selling children's book was beautifully written and illustrated by McPhail, and translated into Japanese with a lyric touch by Tomoso Nonaka.
