Beautiful watercolor illustrations, filled with fascinating details of small woodland creatures and their habitat, enhance this fast-paced tale of the endearing field mice who live in Brambly Hedge.  Winter is approaching, and word has reached the mice that the voles who live in the High Hills are nearly freezing.  When Mr. Apple decides to attempt the difficult journey to carry mouse-made blackets and other supplies to the voles, Wilfred Toadflzx volunteers to join the relief operation.  However, Wilfred's objective is not so much to save the voles as to search for gold in the High Hills.
