Sea Story (Brambly Hedge)

Description

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the miniature world of the mice of Brambly Hedge! It was summer and Primrose woke knowing that it was going to be a very special day. The sun was already warm and a light breeze stirred the leaves and branches of Brambly Hedge. It was a perfect day for an adventure. Leaving the hedge behind, Dusty, Poppy, Primrose and Wilfred set off downstream in Dusty's boat the Periwinkle, on a journey that would take them all the way down to the sea. But it wasn't all plain sailing, and the mice had an important mission to fulfil before they could return to Brambly Hedge...

Jill Barklem spent five years on research before she started to write her first stories about the mice of 'Brambly Hedge. Her interest in natural history and her curiosity about traditional rural customs and crafts have spilled over into these chronicles of hedgerow life. Jill Barklem is married and lives with her husband and her two children, Elizabeth and Peter, in a house near Epping Forest.
