I was hoping that these stories would be descendants of Jill Barklem’s Brambly Hedge books. They’re not exactly, but they’re great fun! More like the Borrowers, with a little Brambly Hedge thrown in, they follow the adventures of Tumtum and Nutmeg, two married mice who live in Nutmouse Hall, in the broom cupboard of Rose Cottage. Any imaginative child ought to like these ones.
