Two of Jill Barklem's Brambly Hedge stories'The Secret Staircase' and 'The High Hills' are brought together in this book, which includes an introduction to Brambly Hedge, home to a lively community of mice. This is the first of Jill Barklem's books I have read, since from merely looking at the delightful china produced by Royal Doulton to bring the mouse characters to life I became interested in the little creatures whose adventures have clearly won the hearts of so many children and adults. Indeed, reading these stories has given me incentive to read the original tales of the life of country mice throughout the Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter seasons. They are reminiscent of characters by Beatrix Potter & Alison Uttley.
