“All along the meadow where the cows and horses graze, stood an old stone wall…”
The story is one of those top tier children’s books like “The Giving Tree” or “Mrs. Rumphius”. It describes a community of mice making preparations for the winter. All mice are gathering food and such, but Frederick gathers colors and words and music. He is roundly ridiculed for it until winter comes, the stores run out, and Frederick helps pass the long winter with his imagination and the colors and words he gathered.
