What Is The Old Mill About?
The premise of The Old Mill without spoilers.
Animals seek shelter from the storm inside an old mill. As night falls, the frightened occupants—birds, timid mice, owls and other creatures—huddle together to stay dry. When the thunderstorm intensifies, the mill wheel turns and the structure threatens to burst apart, but finally the storm fades away. Wind whistles, gears creak, and calm returns.
