Format:Hardcover
This is a magical story of discovering a secret forgotten place. Great illustrations, but current publication isn't as good as it was when we were younger. Hopefully this work will be rediscovered and published in a better format.

My two grandchildren LOVE this book .They like all the Brambly Hedge books but this is their favourite, it tells the story of 2 little mice searching for somewhere to practice their recital for a forthcoming feast and everyone in the palace is busy and they seem to be in the way. The mother of one of them suggests that they go up to the attic to find some clothes to wear for it and whilst there, they find a key and then stumble on a door, once they open the door, there is staircase and this is what the story is about, what they find upstairs. Although they have heard it many times, when my two grandchildren come to stay (they are 6 and 4), this is the favourite book to be read.

This kindred book will be enjoyed by all children.

Format:Hardcover
This is a heartwarming story for children of all ages.
My 2 year old sat fascinated as I read to her. She
examined each illustration closely. It is a warm,
cozy book for a cold winter day. The detailed art work
compliments the text and allows children to be drawn deeply
into the story.

This is a story of a community of mice that wear clothes and have wonderful lives. The mice of Brambly Hedge love celebrations. Two young mice find a secret staircase while preparing for a winter celebration, and their adventure begins. The illustrations in this book are beautiful. They help you to imagine the fantastic lives of these enchanting mice.

Sweet and Timeless

Format:Hardcover
A lovely tale of mice that wear clothes and live in trees and have ever so charming lives that for the duration of the book,you feel as though you are there."The Secret Staircase" captures that cozy, special feeling that the holiday season brings out. I recommend the Brambley Hedge books to anyone of any age who wants to be captivated by a group of fictional mice with real heart.
