Winter Story (Brambly Hedge) Explained
Winter Story is a 1980 children's book, the final of the four seasons of Jill Barklem's Brambly Hedge series.[1] In the book the biggest snowstorm in years leaves enough snow for an ice ball.[2] The Economist review of books described the book as a "(Beatrix) potter through Brambly Hedge", "mousy little tales with beautiful, busy drawings".[3] [4]
