in 1980 Collins published four gentle enchanting books about the community of mice who live in Brambly Hedge. written by Jill Barklem the stories were intended to teach small children old-fashioned values and self sufficiency. called Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter Story, these books have been translated into thirteen languages and more than a million copies were printed. sadly now they are in danger of running out of print but it may be possible to obtain second-hand copies. four delightful videos were also made.

Those ice are a bargain and so good.
You actually must feel good buying them knowing the money gets well used too.
Bunny pouch very sweet indeed
We have one of the books which my children loved and I think your mice are divine.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne
I love them! One of them is in my top five children's books, "The High Hills". I had the cassette tape to match, but it got wiped somehow, but I still have the book, I just love it, good old fashioned story like Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddleduck. They are great.
Those little dolls look so much like them!!! Sooooo cute, I can't wait to come over and stare at them.

Oh Rosey the girls are so going to love them...I do!! I love that series and even when you were describing who they were I could picture the wedding raft floating away!!
What a gorgeous 'family' for such a cheap price. I am so kicking myself that I didn't get to that fair!!
Your secret is safe with me!!
kiss Noises Linda
Your girls will love them!
We used to have the books (don't know what happened to them). Didn't realise they would be going out of print, must look out for them again.
Have a good weekend hunni!

I used to love Bramble Hedge ,They were some of the very few books I had as a child .I had the Set of four and a big one .I used to look at them for hrs all the little detail in the tree stump houses .The winter one was my favorite with all the mouse ice sculptures .You have made so many good memories come back .
I really want one , do you think she would make me some when she is less busy ,Maybe just the 2 getting married .
They are super cute I love them .
The girls are going to be over the moon with them .
Thanks for sharing
Love from sesga xx
This is a real treasure! Promise me you won't sell it on ebay or something, later.. How are the girls reacting to these cuties?
I'll be jumping up and down, I guess.
They are great, what a talented lady who made them. Your girls are going to be over the moon I'm sure.
Enjoy your weekend.
