This is the story of how the donkey, the dog, the cat, and the cockerel all met one fine day. They became friends and went along the highway, singing together, to go and join the Bremen Town Band. But on the way they come to a forest and in that forest there was a house and in that house there were some robbers... Brian Wildsmith tells and illustrates the well-known tale by the Brothers Grimm in all the glowing colours of an early summer's day.
