Four stories, originally published separately, that follow the activities of the Brambly Hedge community of field mice through the four seasons, introduced by a 20 page "conversation" with the author about the origins and developments of the stories.

The Four Season of Brambly Hedge begins with a twenty-page "conversation" with Jill Barklem, illustrated with her early sketches and notebooks. This fascinating material has never been published before: it traces the origins and development of Brambly Hedge and reveals the artist's total commitment to her vision.
