The early 1920s: If it were up to Rosalie, she and her friend Madame Mel would now be at home in their nice, cozy meadow. Instead, the shy yellow-necked mouse and the old quarrelsome hamster find themselves on board a swimming colossus that crosses the Mediterranean Sea towards Africa. Young Rosalie suddenly has to save a group of mouse passengers from a ferret, the daring ship rat Curtis from himself and a boisterous rodent whippersnapper out of a trap. "The Ship to Africa" is a black-and-white comic with three coloured pages and part 1 of the thrilling adventures of Rosalie and her friends.
