Book Description

28 Oct 2010 Brambly Hedge

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Brambly Hedge with this exquisite slipcase containing the first four classic picture books.

The mice of Brambly Hedge have many adventures but they always have time for fun too. All through the year, they mark the seasons with feasts and festivities and, of course, the mice never miss an opportunity to meet and celebrate.

This beautifully designed slipcase contains four classic stories following their adventures throughout the year.

In Winter Story a heavy snowfall means the mice can hold a Snow Ball for the first time in years. In Autumn Story Primrose makes friends with the harvest mice before losing her way in the chestnut woods. Wilfred gets a birthday surprise in Spring Story, when all the mice club together to organise a fantastic picnic for him; and in Summer Story, Poppy Eyebright and Dusty Dogwood get engaged and a wonderful wedding is planned by all the mice of Brambly Hedge.

Product Description

Review

“…the most researched-crammed fantasy ever set before small children…” Sunday Times Magazine

About the Author

Jill Barklem was born in Epping and led a quiet childhood enjoying being close to nature. On leaving school, she studied illustration at St Martin’s in London. The inspiration for Brambly Hedge appeared during Jill’s daily train journey between Epping and London: shutting herself off from the outside world, she became obsessed with the way of life of a band of hedgerow mice, later to be developed as the world of Brambly Hedge. Jill still lives in Epping, Essex.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect gift for a little girl and her mother 28 Nov 2010
By Helena
Utterly charming books by an extremely talented artist. Jill Barklem inhabits her own vivid imaginative world, where tiny wood mice live. Her characters are beautifully drawn on the page, in exquisite detailed interiors and landscapes. It is a dream world for a little girl, where the pictures can be explored again and again for new details. The nostalgic kitchens full of carefully researched old fashioned pot and pans and ranges, and the woods and riverbanks outside with their careful botanic details, give rise to daydreams of a sweet old-fashioned life which will appeal to parents too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, enchanting world 18 April 2011
I recently purchased the set for my son. I had read him the 'Spring Story' which I had since I was a child. He loved reading about the world of these enchanting little mice. The books have wonderful illustrations and stories which draw you in. They are fun, sweet and feature humourous moments like the mouse who after hunting for his pants, comments 'ah, there you are, you rascals!' Such a nice alternative to more commercial characters in so many of today's children's books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good old times 3 Mar 2011
By Kaye
The collection of 4 books, one for each season, is nicely boxed. Well printed and so nice to look at.
The only downside is the size. The illustrations are so nice that a larger book would have made them even better.
