This special gift edition brings together two of Jill Barklem's tales about the mice of Brambly Hedge, and The Secret Staircase in one volume. 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. In Winter Story a heavy snowfall means the mice can hold a Snow Ball for the first time in years, an in The Secret Staircase young Primrose and Wilfred stage a spectacular performance at the Midwinter Celebrations.
