Many of the details of Brambly Hedge can be traced back to British agricultural processes of the past. The clothes the mice wear are spun by paw driven looms, the flour for bread is created using a fully functional water mill. The intensive research that Jill carried out created the self sufficient community that became Brambly Hedge. Jill found great pleasure in drawing flowers and twigs, a pleasure that would shape the years to come. Instead she would spend afternoons in the art room or leafing through books in the library. As a child Jill always enjoyed being close to nature, spending much of her time at the end of the garden watching spiders going about their busy lives.Īt the age of thirteen, Jill suffered a detached retina this would result in her no longer being able to take part in sport at school.

Jill’s father came from a long line of London drapers and owned an old fashioned department store on Epping High Street. Jill was born in Epping, Essex, a town sheltered from London’s urban expansion by an ancient woodland, Epping Forest. Intended for small children, the books were an immediate success with readers of all ages and the books have been translated in to over thirteen languages and sold over seven million copies.

Brambly Hedge is an idyllic spot where old values flourish and seasonal self-sufficiency is the order of the day.
