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.
Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the miniature world of the mice of Brambly Hedge!
It is Midwinter’s Eve and the mice of Brambly Hedge are very busy. This evening, after dark, they will all be gathering round a blazing fire for the traditional midwinter celebrations. A grand entertainment is planned and Primrose and Wilfred have chosen to recite a poem.
They go up to the attics to rehearse in pace and quiet but there are so many things to look at and places to explore, it is hard to concentrate. And when they stumble upon a dusty staircase, all thoughts of practising are put aside…
• Ever since the books were first published, readers have loved exploring the miniature world of the hedgerows and meeting the families that live there
• The mice of Brambly Hedge live in perfect harmony with their environment – a theme that has never chimed so perfectly as now
• Brambly Hedge has been translated into more than 15 languages, selling over 5 million copies
• The mice have appeared on merchandise ranging from china to chocolate, and in an animated television series
