In their own words

In a quaint garden owned by Farmer Green, there exists a mysterious figure known as Grandfather Mole. Rarely seen by his neighbors, he has likely called this garden home for many summers, hidden away from sight. Those who know him speak fondly of his underground dwelling, a remarkable creation filled with more halls than any other home theyve encountered. Mr. Meadow Mouse, a frequent visitor when Grandfather Mole is away, can attest to the wonders of his elaborate abode.
