What is The Secret Staircase about?

On Midwinter's Eve, Brambly Hedge's mice prepare for their festive gathering. Young Primrose and Wilfred, set to recite a poem, retreat to the attics to rehearse. Distracted by the attic's curiosities, they discover a hidden staircase leading to a forgotten room filled with old costumes. Their unexpected find adds a delightful twist to the evening's celebrations.
