Brambly Hedge | Autumn Story

An enchanting seasonal tale for children, Autumn Story captures the quintessential essence of the autumn harvest, the changing seasons, and the industrious nature of a close knit community.

A 1980s children's book classic, the Brambly Hedge series chronicles, in gorgeous illustrative detail, the lives and adventures of a community of mice in the English countryside.

The hedgerow of Brambly Hedge is an idyllic place where old world values flourish and seasonal self-sufficiency is the order of the day.

Why You’ll Love It:
Tracing back to the British agricultural practices of old, the mice of Brambly Hedge exemplify the sustainable harnessing of wind and water power, the judicious use of seasonal ingredients, the meticulous preserving of the autumn crops, and the jovial observance of the nature-based celebrations and ceremonies that mark the pivotal turning points of the year.

British author-illustrator, the late Jill Barklem, conducted extensive research whilst developing the enchanting miniature world of Brambly Hedge. When the first four books were initially published, the Sunday Times Magazine described them as “the most research-crammed fantasy ever set before small children.”
