Description

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the miniature world 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 didnt realise just how unusual it was prove to be!

Also look out for Spring Story, Autumn Story and Winter Story!
