Summary

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

It was the middle of winter and very, very cold. The mice of Brambly Hedge forecasted snow.

And they were right. In the morning they awoke to find their doors and windows hidden behind deep drifts. There hadn't been snow like this for years. "There's enough for a Snow Ball!" cried the mice with glee, and set to work in the time-honoured way to make an Ice Hall for the festivities. The little mice watched wide-eyed as all the preparations were made.

Then at last everything was ready, and the Ball could begin…

Vivaldi sorely missing

Lovely stories. Reminded me of listening to these with my siblings when we were little. I do think it’s such a shame that the Vivaldi Four Seasons music has been replaced. The classic music gave the stories such atmosphere

Excellent story

Have loved the story since I was a child, it's just a shame they no longer use Vivaldi's Four Seasons for the music anymore, it added a lot to the atmosphere of the story.
