A Year in Brambly Hedge: Celebrating forty years of Brambly Hedge with this beautiful storybook gift set

The "Brambly Hedge" picture book book series by Jill Barklem, can be enjoyed by children & adults, alike. I have collected the entire series (total of 8 tiny books) that she first published in1980's and then recently in 2014, 2017 & 2020. I also have the one larger earlier book that contains all the 4 seasons along with Jill Barklem's biography complete with a sweet photo of her as a little girl in England and several of her illustration sketches. These wonderfully illustrated stories of Field MIce and their woodland creature neighbors, are a delight to read. Upon receiving her first book in the 1980's, it has been my tradition to read each of the stories that coincide with one of her story's seasons. JIll Barklem, who passed away in 2017, was such an imaginative illustrator and author. I do believe she now is at play with her friends within the Brambly Hedge.

The books are lovely, the paper is high quality, the drawing are beautiful! I’m satisfied with my purchase

Reading this with my husband brought back all the wonderful memories of reading them as a child. They are beautifully illustrated with tons of wonderful characters and little details in the pictures that are so fun to look at. I highly recommend this as a gift or even just for fun for any child or even as an adult who would enjoy the illustrations and the sweet stories of the maze Reading this with my husband brought back all the wonderful memories of reading them as a child.

Bought both sets. Both sets came in with clear plastic wraps on the boxes so you know they must be brand new. The papers inside of these books are in matte finish. Can’t wait to read them all!

Got this for my 3 year old daughter. They are a little above her head yet, but she'll grow into them!

The books are LOVELY, but the listing is incorrect, clearly - i received the vintage-looking set of all *8* books, not just the 4 for the primary-colored "Year in Brambly Hedge". This was what I wanted anyway, but I figured I would let others know 😉

My granddaughter enjoyed the story and the detailed illustrations.

Love the story and the pictures!
