Jill Barklem was drawn to the natural world ever since childhood. While training as an illustrator at St Martin’s School of Art, her long journeys to college gave her time to escape into the imaginary world of a colony of mice, later to be developed as the delightful miniature world of Brambly Hedge. Jill passed away in 2017 but her legacy lives on in these enchanting tales.
"...the most researched-crammed fantasy ever set before small children..." Sunday Times Magazine"Spring Story, Summer Story, Autumn Story and Winter Story are beautiful tales...nostalgic Mums can enjoy them with their own kids." The Sun (Natasha Harding)"Winter Story is about the mice planning a grand ice ball for Christmas, and remains, I think, one of the most glorious Christmas stories ever written" Katherine Rundell"If I [were] a mouse, this is where I'd wanna live" @britneyspears, Instagram
