New York Review Children's Collection series.
Young mouse Hickory forsakes the security of home (the bottom of a grandfather clock in an old farmhouse) and family to investigate the meadows beyond. His life is now linked with the creatures of the field and with the turning of the seasons. A profusion of colored illustrations embellishes every page; both story and pictures are executed with elegance, restraint, and meticulous care.
