Autumn Story (Brambly Hedge)

Description

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the miniature world of the mice of Brambly Hedge! 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? Also look out for Summer Story, Spring Story and Winter Story!

Jill Barklem spent five years on research before she started to write her first stories about the mice of 'Brambly Hedge. Her interest in natural history and her curiosity about traditional rural customs and crafts have spilled over into these chronicles of hedgerow life. Jill Barklem is married and lives with her husband and her two children, Elizabeth and Peter, in a house near Epping Forest.
