Synopsis

Step into the exquisite miniature world of the mice of Brambly Hedge in this beautiful new edition of the classic picture book.

Bad weather is on the way and the autumn stores are still not gathered in!

Quickly, all the mice of Brambly Hedge set to work to finish the harvesting before the rain begins. Primrose, Lord Woodmouse's daughter, meant to help, but somehow she daydreamed her way over the cornfield and into the Chestnut Woods, and before she knew it, she was lost. The sun went down, the wind rose and it began to rain. Primrose was all alone in the dark and she was frightened.

Poor Primrose, would she find her way home again?

From the Back Cover

It is harvest time and Primrose Wood mouse is helping her father collect berries. Soon Primrose is sent home but instead, she decides to go for a walk in the cornfield. As she wanders further and further away she becomes lost and no one in Brambly Hedge knows where to find her...

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.
