For many generations, mice have been living in small houses in Blackberry Glade, hiding from everyone in the roots and trunks of trees. Mice never sit idle: they harvest in the fields, prepare stocks of nuts and berries for the winter, so that later they can enjoy incredible jams, puddings and pickles in pleasant company near the fireplace. But every inhabitant of Blackberry Glade will always find time for fun and entertainment: be it a birthday or the first day of spring.
Funny and touching stories about mice in Bramble Meadow were first published in 1980. Author Jill Barklem studied nature and life in 19th century England for a long time before starting to write books.
"Adventures in Bramble Meadow" is a collection that includes the stories "High Hills", "Violet Children", "Secret Staircase" and "Sea Story".
