A heart-warming tale of friendship and separation.

Teasel is a field mouse and his best friend is a hedgehog called Bramble. But hedgehogs must hibernate during the colder months of the year, so when autumn comes, the friends must part.

Teasel will miss Bramble terribly but comes up with a wonderful idea - he will keep a diary for Bramble and describe to him the autumn activities of the woodland animals and the delights of winter that Bramble has never known.

Lynne Garner's time is divided between family life, teaching design and sewing, and running a hedgehog rescue service from a shed at the bottom of her garden. She lives on the border of Essex and Hertfordshire. Lynne's first picture book, A BOOK FOR BRAMBLE has been translated into five languages and her second book THE BEST JUMPER has been recorded for the BBC radio channel CBeeBies.
