It's Midwinter Eve and everyone in Brambly Hedge is busily preparing for the traditional midwinter celebrations.

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 and opportunity to meet and celebrate.
