The Rescuers Series by Margery Sharp

The mice in this story created the widely respected Prisoners' Aid Society of Mice. The task of this benevolent society is to befriend human prisoners in their cells, and perform daring rescue bids. As this story opens, the Chairwoman of the Society is proposing the rescue of a Norwegian poet who is being held in grim conditions in the Black Castle.

She has been kidnapped by the wicked Grand Duchess and is imprisoned in the Diamond Palace." Careful plans for the rescue are laid, but even the best plans can go wrong. Luckily Miss Bianca has more than her share of wiles and wit.
