The collection contains all eight original Brambly Hedge stories, including Spring Story, Summer Story, Autumn Story, Winter Story, Poppy’s Babies, Sea Story, The High Hills, and my daughter’s favorite, The Secret Staircase. I finally found a reasonably priced used copy of the Complete Brambly Hedge through Amazon. (I should probably mention here that The Four-Year-Old adored Wilfred to the Rescue. While the story was cute and the illustrations engaging, it was hard to see from this book exactly why Snapdragons would write about the Brambly Hedge mice with such passionate devotion. When I consulted my librarian, she found a spin-off by Alan MacDonald called Wilfred to the Rescue.

Jann Haworth and Peter Blake Le Menu Le Menu Let’s Connect Yes, I love the outdoor scenes (Jill’s early botanical studies held her in good stead), but I adore the interiors and the serious attention to FOOD (no surprise). Much like the Potter books, Barklem’s work looks quintessentially British. In Spring Story, they plan a surprise birthday picnic for young Wilfred Toadflax in Summer Story,everyone’s busy preparing for Poppy and Dusty’s wedding in Autumn Story, they work diligently to bring in the harvest (though little Primrose gets lost), and in Winter Story,there’s the magnificent Snow Ball, held in a beautiful Ice Hall they construct themselves. In true community spirit, they all work together for the common good and take the time to properly celebrate important milestones, joyfully observing the best of what each season has to offer. The ideal world she created is a place safe, peaceful, and comforting, where young and old are taken care of, where people are caring and kind. There’s a lot of personality in those little whiskers and perky ears poking through straw bonnets trimmed with flowers and berries. Equally important, she made her mice very “mouse-like” despite their human dress and behavior.
