Spring Story cover

In Spring Story, Wilfred's birthday surprise picnic brings all the mice of Brambly Hedge together for a delightful celebration filled with treats and friendship.

In Spring Story, readers are invited to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the charming world of Brambly Hedge, where the delightful mice reside. The story begins with Wilfred, who wakes up excited on his birthday, surrounded by lovely presents. However, the highlight of his day is a surprise picnic organized by Mr. Apple, bringing together all the mice from Brambly Hedge for a joyful celebration.

As Wilfred makes his way along the grassy track, he struggles under the weight of the heavy hamper filled with delicious treats. The anticipation builds as he wonders about the goodies inside—sandwiches, knives, and more. The journey is filled with the playful spirit of friendship and community, showcasing the warmth of the Brambly Hedge mice as they come together for a special occasion.

Upon reaching their destination, Wilfred finally opens the hamper to discover the best treat of all, culminating in a heartwarming moment that embodies the essence of celebration and togetherness. Spring Story not only introduces children to the beauty of the seasons but also invites them to experience the enchanting adventures of Brambly Hedge through its beautifully illustrated pages. Additional stories, including Summer Story, Autumn Story, and Winter Story, further enrich the experience of this beloved series.
