Books in Brambly Hedge series

During the long hot summer Poppy Eyebright is busy in her dairy while downstream Dusty Dogwood is busy in his mill. Dusty and Poppy spend more and more time together by the banks of the cooling stream and by midsummer the mice of Brambly Hedge are preparing for a very special day ! 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, whether it be a little mouse's birthday, an eagerly awaited wedding or the first day of spring, the mice never miss an opportunity to meet and celebrate.

It was summer, and Primrose woke knowing that it was going to be a very special day. The sun was already warm, and a light breeze stirred the leaves and branches of Brambly Hedge. It was a perfect day for a sailing adventure. Leaving the hedge behind, Dusty, Poppy, Primrose and Wilfred set off downstream in Dusty's boat the Periwinkle, on a journey that will take them all the way down to the sea. But it isn't all plain sailing. The mice have an important mission to fulfil before they can return to Brambly Hedge...
