Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the miniature world of the mice of Brambly Hedge!

It was summer and Primrose woke knowing that it was going to be a very special day. The sun was already warm and a light breeze stirred the leaves and branches of Brambly Hedge. It was a perfect day for an adventure.

Leaving the hedge behind, Dusty, Poppy, Primrose and Wilfred set off downstream in Dusty’s boat the Periwinkle, on a journey that would take them all the way down to the sea. But it wasn’t all plain sailing, and the mice had an important mission to fulfil before they could return to Brambly Hedge…

Published 28 October 2010

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of Brambly Hedge with this exquisite slipcase containing the first four classic picture books.

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, of course, the mice never miss an opportunity to meet and celebrate.

This beautifully designed slipcase contains four classic stories following their adventures throughout the year.

In Winter Story a heavy snowfall means the mice can hold a Snow Ball for the first time in years. In Autumn Story Primrose makes friends with the harvest mice before losing her way in the chestnut woods. Wilfred gets a birthday surprise in Spring Story, when all the mice club together to organise a fantastic picnic for him; and in Summer Story, Poppy Eyebright and Dusty Dogwood get engaged and a wonderful wedding is planned by all the mice of Brambly Hedge.

It is the very end of autumn and Flax and Lily are busy making blankets for the voles in the High Hills.

He is convinced there is gold to be found in the hills beyond Brambly Hedge and this is his chance to discover it.

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...
