The Rescuers – Margery Sharp

Now a Walt Disney Productions film, based on the characters in this story.

"You all know the Black Castle," began the secretary of the Prisoner's Aid Society. Everyone in the hall shuddered.
And as she told of her daring plan to rescue the poet from its dark walls they all sat in stunned silence.

set out on their hair-raising attempt to rescue the poor, languishing poet.
