Description

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the miniature world of the mice of Brambly Hedge!
Wilfred woke early. It was his birthday. He had lots of lovely presents, but the best one was a surprise Mr Apple had organised a secret celebration picnic and all the mice of Brambly Hedge were invited.

There was so much to carry. Poor Wilfred got very tired as he lurched and bumped his way along the grassy track. What was it Mrs Apple had said was in his hamper Knives Sandwiches They were certainly heavy!

When they finally arrived, Wilfred was allowed to open up the hamper and there he found the best treat of all
