The mice of Brambly Hedge live on the other side of the stream across the field. If you look very hard amongst the tangled roots and stems, you mat sees a wisp of smoke from a small chimney, or through an open door, a steep flight of stairs deep within the trunk of a tree.
The mice keep themselves very busy. Whether it's spring, summer, autumn or winter, there is always something to prepare for and, of course, the mice never miss an opportunity for a celebration.
Bad weather is on the way and the autumn stores are still not gathered in! Quickly all the mice of Brambly Hedge set 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 ever find her way home again?
