Synopsis

It was early summer in Brambly Hedge. Outside, everything seemed quiet and peaceful, but inside the mill there was chaos. Poppy's new babies were crying, Dusty's mill was clattering and clouds of flour dust filled the air. This was no place to bring up a family. But what was to be done? The mice of Brambly Hedge come up with a plan in no time at all, and even Wilfred manages to keep it a secret from Poppy so that she has a wonderful surprise on the babies' Naming Day.

About this title

Review:

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

From the Back Cover:

Poppy and Dusty and their three new babies live at the top of the flour mill. It isn’t at all convenient – the mill is very dusty and noisy and there are too many stairs. But what can be done? The mice of Brambly Hedge come up with a plan in no time at all and on the babies’ Naming Day, Poppy has the most wonderful surprise...

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.
