During
the magical time of the Great Spring Festival, when all mice
celebrate the end of the cold months and look forward to the
warmer days ahead a very special, and sometimes magical, ceremony
takes place.
Upon
this most holy day mousebrasses are given to those youngsters
who have come of age and these shining amulets are treasured
by them for the rest of their days. Fashioned by the local brass
maker, these charms are important symbols to all mice and the
talismens they are given can often change their entire lives.
Perhaps
the most marvellous event to be recorded at the time of the
Great Spring Festival was the appearance of the Green Mouse
himself to Audrey Brown to present her with a very special
mousebrass from his own shimmering coat. Recorded here are
just a few of the traditional charms to be found in the mice
communities.
