[6] Despite our concerns about the condition of the tree, it was deemed to be in very good health considering the damage, with plenty of new growth in the upper branches,” he said.

Take a look at these illustrations.. It's dreamy, isn't it? This book had the power to make me wander with my imagination with those little mice. I was one of them and their adventures and life happenings were truly the best. Spring Story The baskets were put down and opened, and nettlestem cloths spread out on the mossy grass.Today is young Wilfred's birthday, and he decides to explore around the Brambly Hedge. He visits every mouse family from Mr Apple who runs the store room in the stump to Lord and Lady Woodmouse. Jill immersed herself in the world she created. She was absorbed in the smallest details of everything from the blossom on a tree to the cogs of a machine. Her study and kitchen were both piled high with dried flowers, shells, nuts, feathers – anything and everything she could collect and use to inspire the Brambly Hedge world. A good cook, she made sure that every recipe for the wonderful food enjoyed by the mice at picnics and feasts could actually be made from foraged ingredients. She adopted the same approach to the mechanical implements she created within Brambly Hedge; all the machinery in the mouse mill and dairy had been trialled by Jill in miniature working models.

Success!

Uno splendido paesaggio bianco si prospetta ai loro occhi il mattino seguente, tutto è coperto di neve, i prati, i sentieri, le piante. Tutti gli abitanti del bosco, entusiasti, decidono di organizzare una festa "Il ballo della neve". Spring Story (1980) – Wilfred Toadflax enjoys a picnic and a surprise for his birthday at Bluebell Bank. A tale where a grandiose palace of ice and a warm fireside kitchen are equally honored in the life of the community.

The Brambly Hedge is a collection of children's stories first published in the 1980s by beloved author Jill Barklem. The first four seasonal books were produced in audio form; one hour narrated by John Moffatt. Audiobooks and CDs are marketed under the titles The Brambly Hedge Collection (2005) and A Year in Brambly Hedge (2014).Jill had a portfolio of lots and lots of pictures of mice and the structure of a mouse world,” said Fior. “Her craftsmanship was extraordinary. You only had to open the portfolio to know she was something special. But there wasn’t a story. Instead there was the idea of the community of mice.” Fior was immediately taken by the potential of Jill’s idea and the quality of her work, and sent her home with a four-book contract. “The intensity of Jill’s vision was clear from the beginning,” she said. “She wanted the world to be a wonderful place and she wanted to create a community where that would happen – even if it was only a fictional one.” I guess I always come to these books expecting some kind of conflict - which is typically a given element of any story. Yet I'm realizing that the Brambly stories are more concerned with recording the doings of a community rather than creating some grand narrative. If you're looking for main characters, there really aren't any, and the mice go about their business with no hinderances, delays, or natural predators. Instead, this is an ensemble piece showing a warm, rustic, and healthy community that comes together around the two great unifying factors: food, and dance. Of any of the seasonal stories, this entry probably depicts those factors the best, as it's entirely devoted to showing the effort it takes to prepare for a grand ball, and how that effort is handsomely rewarded.

She is survived by David, their children, Lizzie and Peter, and two grandchildren, Timmy and Emily. Midwinter's Day is coming. Primrose and Wilfred are assigned to recite the Midwinter Poem, and they discover a secret staircase concealed in the attic and many old rooms within. They finally stumble down a secret tunnel making it in time for the Midwinter celebrations, but they keep the old rooms a secret.Sea Story (1990) – Dusty Dogwood, Poppy Eyebright, Primrose Woodmouse and Wilfred Toadflax sail down river to retrieve salt from the sea mice. When the residents of Brambly Hedge - a community of woodland mice all living together in a small settlement on the other side of the stream, across the field... amongst the tangled roots and stems" - wake up one winter morning and find their world has been blanketed in fresh snow, they respond in their usual fashion: by working, and then celebrating as a group. Digging tunnels to connect all the residences of the hedge with one another, and with the Store Stump, they decide to honor the traditions of the ancestors, and hold a Snow Ball... Tutti sono in fermento, chi a scavare gallerie nella neve, chi a cucinare tante prelibatezze. Costruiscono un vero e proprio palazzo del ghiaccio, con una bellissima pista da ballo. Gli abitanti di Boscodirovo si presentano al ballo con i loro abiti migliori, ballano tutta la notte e, quando vanno a dormire le neve continua a cadere. She went on to publish Spring Story, Summer Story, Autumn Story and Winter Story in 1980. They were followed by The Secret Staircase, The High Hills, Sea Story and Poppy’s Babies. Each of the stories was deeply researched, and would take up to two years to finish; all of the food that features in the stories, for example, was created by Barklem in her kitchen first, to see that it worked. In 1996, the stories were adapted for television, using the voices of actors including Jim Broadbent and June Whitfield. Barklem first conceived the stories in the 1970s, as she commuted from her Epping home into St Martin’s School of Art on the London underground. “I did not have a very clear idea of my future but assumed I would earn my living by illustrating other people’s books. I certainly never imagined that one day I would write my own,” Barklem said.
