Rats of NIMH

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rats of NIMH is a series of three children's books, the first one by Robert C. O'Brien, and the second and third by his daughter Jane Leslie Conly.

The books are:

• Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH (1971), by Robert C. O'Brien, winner of the Newbery Medal
• Racso and the Rats of NIMH (1986), by Jane Leslie Conly
• R-T, Margaret, and the Rats of NIMH (1990), by Jane Leslie Conly.

In 1982, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH became the basis for the animated film The Secret of NIMH, directed by Don Bluth. In 1998, a film sequel to The Secret of NIMH, called The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue was released. The sequel has no connection to Jane Leslie Conly's sequel, Racso and the Rats of NIMH.
