For any David Winter collector Harvey the mouse with his coat of corn has to be the first thing to look at. He is kept warm and fed by the corn amongst which he lives and from which he dines.

It was originally intended to produce the mouse with a black colouring but by popular request the original brown colouring was used.

Living in the fields and barns, feasting on the grain harvest his life is content. Then at the first touch of cold weather, if you live in the countryside and leave a door open, you may well find him nesting in the warmth of your linen cupboard.
