The Secret Staircase
In our home we are huge fans of Jill Barklem's Brambly Hedge series. Most of us are familiar with her Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter books, but did you know that she wrote numerious others?
When the winter blues take hold of the mice residents of Brambly Hedge, Primrose and Wilfred think of the perfect way to cheer things up after finding a collection of antique costumes at the top of "The Secret Staircase".
I love this little story, I can just imagine the excitment of finding an old key and the doorway which led to this magical discover. It certainly is the most perfect way to spend a frosty morning in merry midwinter!

Darker colours may run, bleed or transfer and although I take every precaution to ensure colour fastness I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by colour transfer or bleeding in a wash.
