![]() ![]() The author of these fine tales, Jill Barklem, spent years researching the customs, handcrafts, and traditional celebrations of the rural English countryside before she set to illustrating them in her own stories for children. These picture books were so intricately illustrated and vividly told that I remember them as if they were a place I visited, some small corner of earth that I explored. ![]() When I think back to the favorite books of my childhood, books whose tang of atmosphere and illustration are still keen in my mind, one of the first I remember is the series of English country tales known as the Brambly Hedge books. Sarah Clarkson is now Sarah Fink-Jenson! Everyone at Story Warren wishes our dear friend, and one of our favorite writers, blessings on this wonderful occasion. In fact, just a few days ago she was married in Oxford. ![]() In it she spoke of a trip to England, a place she has speant alot of time since. Editor’s Note: Sarah Clarkson first shared this lovely review here nearly four years ago. ![]()
