Step into the exquisite, miniature world of the mice of Brambly Hedge in this beautiful new edition of the classic picture book.

It is Midwinter's Eve and the mice of Brambly Hedge are very busy. This evening, after dark, they will all be gathering round a blazing fire for the traditional midwinter celebrations. A grand entertainment is planned and Primrose and Wilfred have chosen to recite a poem.

They go up to the attics to rehearse in pace and quiet but there are so many things to look at and places to explore, it is hard to concentrate. And when they stumble upon a dusty staircase, all thoughts of practising are put aside...

This juvenile fiction is a must-read for all animal lovers. The mice of Brambly Hedge, with their midwinter celebrations and the discovery of a secret staircase, will surely captivate the hearts of children and adults alike.

For fans of Jessica Courtney-Tickle (Sleep, My Baby), Cicely Mary Barker (Flower Fairies of the Summer), Matt Tavares (Dasher Can't Wait for Christmas), Beatrix Potter (Beatrix Potter The Complete Tales), and Patricia Toht (All Aboard the London Bus).
