Father Hickery Hawthorn is a very happy-go-lucky mouse and is quite content to go with the flow and fit in with eveyone else’s plans. He wants the quiet life, but his children are noisy and his wife, Imogen, nags him morning, noon and night.

Mother Imogen Hawthorn is one for getting up early and making a start on cleaning the house and preparing breakfast. She is always making plans and organising the family’s week, with a visit here and a trip there.

Brother Bryce Hawthorn is just like his dad. Quiet, thoughtful and always easy to please, he wouldn’t say ‘boo’ to a goose. But put him on a football pitch and he turns into a little devil, who’s loud and aggressive.

Sister Laurel Hawthorn is a very busy little girl. In between practising her signature and learning ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ on the piano, she insists on helping her mother cook fairy cakes and her father with DIY jobs around the house.That’s why her bedroom is in such a mess, she has no time to keep it tidy!

The Epoch UK edition of the Hawthorn mice are a stark-white colour, whereas the Flair UK edition [family set ref 4121G] are a milky-white colour.
