OMW! I am so excited that you've found these books. I love them! Because they are out of print they are difficult to find, which is really too bad. But I'm glad your library has them.

! I discovered them when I was a pre-teen and LOVED them. I own all the season books and my all-time favorite The Secret Staircase. (See if you can locate that one) For a time there was a china set with the illustrations. I have a small collection, but they were pricey so I was never able to get the pieces I really wanted like the tea pot, cream and sugar servers.

I'm on the list of not hearing of them either. They look like cute stories. I'm putting them on our reserve at the library today.

As usual I went to Amazon after visiting your site and to my shock (and slight dismay) I see the Complete Brambley Hedge is listed at $378.... this is one of those that must go on the "I hope I can find it at a yardsale" list!

"Delightful. Cute. Charming. Why have I not heard of them before?"

I quote you because that is exactly what I thought at the beginning of your review! Ohhh, I really need these books for Z's library...

I would read those stories just to be able to experience the drawing. What great artwork.

Aren't the illustrations in Brambly Hedge just so very lovely - wonderful detail, and full of homes I wish mine looked like! Piles of crockery and plenty of baking, linen and flowers everywhere! But I didn't know about Sea Story so I shall be on the look out for that now!
