It is about the daily lives and adventures of a family of field mice; they live out in the barn, in an old iron cook stove, the kind with holes on top where you put the pots.
The stove makes a very nice house, because it has so many rooms and doors and windows. Whenever the cat comes, the mice can hide inside where it cannot reach them.
Since I cannot remember all of my fathers stories, I am building my own on his foundation.
Because it is a story for children, it is mostly about the mouse children. The stove has some passages so tiny that even a mouse cannot fit, unless it is a child mouse. The mouse children loves these passages, because they can use them to tease the grownups.
One day some mouse children come home from playing in the meadow, and they have exciting news, they have met another tribe of mice. The other tribe lives across the meadow, in the roots under an old oak tree.
Because "mice are always nice to each other," the grownups allow the mouse children to play together, and visit back and forth, and to have sleep overs.
In story two, More Mice the oak tree mouse children come to visit the stove mice.
In story three, Mouse Magic the stove mouse children visit the oak tree. Together, they find a buried treasure. But it isn't gold, it's something much better.
