Tilly Puddlehop

Tilly Puddlehop is Pebblemere’s cheekiest little troublemaker, a scruffy young field mouse forever darting through the village with muddy shoes and pockets full of interesting things she definitely should not have collected. One moment she is climbing orchard trees she was told to leave alone, and the next she is sneaking into the bakery hoping Merriweather has left a tray of buns unattended for just a minute. For all the mischief she causes, Tilly has an impossible sort of charm that makes it very hard for anybody to stay cross with her for long. She asks far too many questions, laughs far too loudly, and somehow always ends up in the middle of whatever excitement is happening in Pebblemere. Most of the village secretly suspects life would feel far too quiet without her.
