![]() I loved the hats and the aprons, the random patchwork of decorations and the incredible visuals that showed mazes of mouse homes. It survived the many moves we made when I was a kid, and I’m often in awe it’s in such good shape.įor me, an only child that did have a very lonely childhood, I found comfort in the illustrations here, the mice becoming adorable little friends who made yummy confections and wore the cutest clothes. I didn’t hold on to much from my life before I was an adult, but this book has managed to stay with me. (And yes, it’s signed “Mommy” and that is 100% my grandma’s handwriting, so this was a gift from my grandma, not my absent mother.)ĪNYWAY, I cherished this book. The little note in the front of my book says it was given to me on 10/25/90, so I had this book well before I could read. I grew up as an only child, raised mainly by my grandma and great-grandma, and my world was that of books. ![]() I remember these mice so clearly because they were my favorite escape. ![]() A mix of cottage core and da Vinci-like machines, this is the comfortable world Jill wrote and illustrated in her Brambly Hedge books. ![]()
