Barley of Maplewood: A tale of bravery and adventure

Barley, a timid young mouse living at the edge of a meadow in Maplewood, feels that no mouse is ever safe, especially in the dark and scary Maple Forest. Barley's world is turned upside down when his cousin moves to the neighbourhood and challenges him to face his fears. Barley has to learn more about himself and triumph over his shortcomings before he can gain a sense of pride. Through his many adventures, and with the help of family and friends, he becomes confident and wise, and gains a rightful place in the community.

In this delightful tale, Jasana Crowie brings the woodland world of friends and adventures to life.
