Bobbin the mouse was a wonderful storyteller. Each day, the animals would gather under the gnarly old oak tree in the orchard. It was a huge tree with twisted roots which provided excellent seats for the animals, (once Puss the cat had stitched some plump feather cushions, that is). The tree soon became known as the ‘make-believe’ tree thanks to Bobbin’s mystical tales, and the animals looked forward to his daily stories.
