Adventures in the blackberry meadow. Barclem D.

For many generations of mice, they live in small houses in a blackhead, hiding from everyone in the roots and trunks of trees. Mice never sit idle: they harvest in the fields, prepare stocks of nuts and berries for the winter, then enjoy incredible jams, puddings and pickles in a pleasant company near the fireplace. But each resident of the blackberry glade always has time for fun and entertainment: be it a birthday or the first day of spring.

Funny and touching stories about mice in Black Polyana were first published in 1980. The author Jill Barclle has long studied the nature and life of England of the 19th century before starting writing books.

“Adventures in the Black Polyana” - this is a collection that includes the stories “Tall Hills”, “Children of violets”, “Secret staircase” and “Marine history”.
