Brambly Hedge is a series of illustrated children's books by Jill Barklem, recounting the adventures of a community of mice who live together in the tranquil surroundings of the English countryside.
The tales involve conflict resolution within nature or exploration, and/or the adventures of working together to achieve a common goal.
Since the 1980s, the Brambly Hedge characters have appeared on merchandise ranging from china to chocolate, stationery, and pewter miniatures.
Companies such as Royal Doulton, Hantel, Crummles, and Border Fine Arts have all produced collectible pieces licensed from Brambly Hedge.
The series premiere was first broadcast in UK on Christmas Day 1996 on the Children's BBC block on BBC1, and it made its US debut on the Starz pay-cable network the following year.
