Brambly Hedge Spring Story by Jill Barklem - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle + Poster (Cobble Hill)

The centre of this one is a hollow tree sliced open to show every room inside, from the store cupboard at the roots up to the attic under the blossom. Around it sits a patchwork of smaller scenes: mice setting a table for cake, a larder stacked with jars and baskets, a wheelbarrow being pushed along a hedgerow path, and a stream lined with tiny picnic blankets. Each panel comes with a snippet of text from the story, so you're piecing together the book as much as the picture.

The mice of Brambly Hedge live a self-sufficient life of milling, weaving and preserving, and Jill Barklem's watercolour illustrations recount the adventures of a community of mice who live together in the tranquil surroundings of the English countryside. This Spring Story edition pulls together some of the best-loved images from the book into one busy collage, so there's plenty to sort by colour and by scene once you start.

A poster is included to help keep track of which cottage room or garden corner you're working on. Good one for a Brambly Hedge fan, or anyone who likes a puzzle with lots of small self-contained scenes rather than one single sweeping view.
