Owle, Chicken, Bear, Sparrow and Stanley

Dear Readers,

A warm and engaging tale about preparations for Winter.

Bear makes an 'Everything' jar' for Owle to keep all the things that he keeps

missing. Sparrow brews her special tea for Owle. And, we finally meet Stanley.

Every Autumn is followed by a Winter.

And every Autumn, Owle makes a journey

up the Shivery Peaks, to see the Elders in their Greatcoats.

To see if they are planning a mild, run around winter, or

a chill-the-bone winter.



Already, many sniffing noses have detected

a deep-snow winter, while other noses

are certain it will be mild.

So, some are busier than others.
