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. First introduced in 1980 with the four seasonal stories, these delightful tales have captured the hearts of readers of all ages ever since. 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. In Summer Story, follow the mice as they celebrate sunlit festivities, and in Autumn Story, enjoy the rich bounty and vibrant hues of harvest time. The adventurous spirit extends beyond the seasonal tales with additional cherished stories. In Poppy’s Babies, explore the tender moments of new life entering the close-knit community. Sea Story takes readers to the bracing excitement of the seaside, while The High Hills and The Secret Staircase uncover the mysteries and wonders hidden within the picturesque landscape. Each story showcases the mice engaging in various activities, whether it’s a day of work or a moment of leisure, revealing the richness of their daily lives. The Brambly Hedge mice exemplify friendship, cooperation, and neighbourly kindness — traits that resonate deeply, whether they are by the cosy fireside or embarking on a thrilling exploration in the hills. The collection includes:

Spring Story, Summer Story, Autumn Story, Winter Story, Poppy’s Babies, Sea Story, The High Hills, The Secret Staircase
