Books by Pemberley Woolf

On Grey Fox Farm, Hepsy Hen, along with her clucking, scratching friends, lived under every hedgerow, bush, and thicket.In need of food, a very young groundhog is sent away by his mum to Grey Fox Manor in search of Hepsy Hen's eggs. October Poe, still in his boyhood, had never been so far away from home, and his mummy knew that sending her son so far away was not without risk.Little Poe gathered his things, remembering to bring his lantern, better to spy with and to trace for wolves who also would be on their way to the manor in search of the hens with plumpish thighs.After strict instructions were given to him by his most loving mummy, October Poe, with stout little arms, pressed his lips against his mummy's nose then leaves her even though his developing heart was still a child's."My Poe is growing up, Lord," she said, gathering her beans and peas in crumbling soil.When the small groundhog had gone far from her reach, he quickly became lost in unfamiliar woods. He had not listened to his wise mum's teachings and now was severely displaced.Clambering high up inside a cave, he soon fell asleep. A short time later, he heard strange giggles low near his ear that chilled his veins. As Poe scooted upward, four glowing eyes he spied in his candle's light.

Paddlewick and Prim Penelope, two tiny deer mice, are truly thrilled about their journey to the chapel, Minster Leith, to hear the stories of Jesus. Quietly, the two mice leave their families, who doze in chewed cheesecloth and Irish linen nests high up in the walls of the attic inside the creaky old manor of Grey Fox Farm.They sought no wise counsel, and soon the mice, being very ill-prepared, quickly learned danger that lurked all around them. Under deep forest canopies of twisted twigs and limbs, the two childlike mice scurry down broken stone carriage roads, swam across babbling streams, and most dreadfully right into the claws of enemies. Will the two mice perish, or will they live to tell their stories of paths dusted with humble pie, jumpy jitters, and surrendering secrets? But not all is grim. Paddlewick and Prim Penelope stumble upon the strangest adventure that ever happened to a mouse.
