Mela, a European badger, lives in a wood together with her mother and brother. During a year in the wood, frost and snow give way to hot weather, plants grow and then die, and a whole variety of animals come and go. Mela leaves her family, sets up a new home, meets a mate and has young of her own. This true-to-life story describes and illustrates Mela's behaviour through a complete cycle of the seasons.
