The Classic Collection has just been launched and is now available from your local bookshop.

It’s wonderful to have a large format book back in the Brambly Hedge range, the larger the format the more detail can be found in Jill’s incredibly detailed cross-section illustrations, there’s always something new to be found. The idea of picnics seems a long way off today as the autumn sun attempts to burn off the morning frost, but here in front of me is a picnic…admittedly on the slipcase of the beautiful new Brambly Hedge Classic Collection. After exploring the flora and fauna of the site we all sat under a huge oak tree for a picnic and a reading of Summer Story.

Families enjoyed an exploration through the Hertfordshire countryside with the Wilderness Foundation, an organisation that harnesses the power of the wilderness to transform vulnerable lives and empowers people to conserve nature. We would like to thank the good people of Epping for nominating Jill for the plaque and to Epping Town Council for all their support, Jill would have been so proud to have a plaque in the place that she would always call home.įrom Epping to the north east of London we move to Elstree in the north west, where we attended a Brambly Hedge themed picnic at Home Farm Glamping for the August bank holiday. The town was a very special place to her, and the surrounding Epping Forest provided much inspiration for what would eventually become the Brambly Hedge series. Jill was born in Epping and lived there almost her entire life. We were delighted to receive the news that Jill had been nominated for a Blue Plaque in her hometown of Epping in Essex, England.

It is fantastic to see all your posts on social media hailing the start of Autumn, and we are honoured that so many of you include our little books in your posts.īefore we continue our autumnal stroll through the crunchy leaves, we should rewind to events from late Summer. We love all seasons here, but Autumn really seems to ignite a Brambly Hedge spark amongst you all. The final leaves are clinging on, the streams are swollen, and we’ve just had our first frost this morning…Autumn is very much here.
