內容簡介: |
Step into the miniature world of the hedgerow in this
beautiful new edition of this classic picture book, following a
summer in the lives of the mice of Brambly Hedge. It was such a hot
summer. They sky was deep blue and the sun never faltered. All
along Brambly Hedge, the mice did their best to keep cool. Poppy
Eyebright sought refuge in the mossy shadows of the mill wheel;
Dusty Dogwood took to walking by the banks of the cooling stream.
Dusty and Poppy spent more and more time together, so no one was at
all surprised when they announced their engagement. They decided on
a very unusual setting for the wedding ceremony, but even they
didn''t realise just how unusual it was prove to be!
