The High Hills - Brambly Hedge by Jill Barklem, £7.99
The mice of Brambly Hedge have had many adventures over the years and this year marks the 30th anniversary of their journey to see the Vole family in the Lake District.
When young Wilfred hears that Mr Apple is going on an expedition to the High Hills, he is sure that they will find gold up there he begs to be able to go with him. All goes well until, in a moment of excitement, Wilfred scampers up a steep rock face and becomes stuck. With Wilfred and Mr Apple now stranded on a rocky ledge the mist begins to rise and soon they are engulfed in a thick white fog, quite unable to find their way home.
Jill Barklem's beguiling Brambly Hedge books never fail to enchant readers old and young.
