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 painted all of it in soft watercolour, tucked away in 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.
