Enter the enchanting world of Brambly Hedge with this exquisite treasury containing all eight beloved classic picture books by Jill Barklem. Explore the charming natural surroundings of the tranquil English countryside through the enchanting tales of the mice of Brambly Hedge.

Welcome to a miniature world nestled within the hedgerows, where the mice live with a strong sense of community, warmth, and adventure. This collection introduces readers to the endearing lives of the Brambly Hedge mice as they experience the changing seasons and embark on heartwarming adventures. From the joys of spring's fresh blossoms in Spring Story to the bustling preparations for winter in Winter Story, every tale brings to life the magic of each season.
