What is Autumn Story about?
Autumn has arrived in Brambly Hedge, and the mice must hurry to gather their harvest before the rain comes. Primrose Woodmouse is meant to be helping, but her daydreaming leads her away from the cornfield and into the Chestnut Woods. Soon, the sun disappears, the wind begins to howl and rain pours down. Lost and frightened in the dark, Primrose must find her way home. Will she be reunited with her family before the storm grows worse?
