Synopsis

Step into the miniature world of the hedgerow in this beautiful new edition of this classic picture book, following a summer in the lives of the mice of Brambly Hedge.

It was such a hot summer. They sky was deep blue and the sun never faltered. All along Brambly Hedge, the mice did their best to keep cool. Poppy Eyebright sought refuge in the mossy shadows of the mill wheel; Dusty Dogwood took to walking by the banks of the cooling stream. Dusty and Poppy spent more and more time together, so no one was at all surprised when they announced their engagement. They decided on a very unusual setting for the wedding ceremony, but even they didn’t realise just how unusual it was prove to be!

About this title

Review:

“...the most researched-crammed fantasy ever set before small children...” Sunday Times Magazine

From the Back Cover:

During the long hot summer Poppy Eyebright is busy in her dairy while downstream Dusty Dogwood is busy in his mill. Dusty and Poppy spend more and more time together by the banks of the cooling stream and by midsummer the mice of Brambly Hedge are preparing for a very special day ...

The mice of Brambly Hedge have many adventures but they always have time for fun too. All through the year, they mark the seasons with feasts and festivities and, whether it be a little mouse's birthday, an eagerly awaited wedding or the first day of spring, the mice never miss an opportunity to meet and celebrate.
