The Toadflax Children in WINTER STORY by Jill Barklem


Winter Story is a 1980 children's book, the final of the four seasons of Jill Barklem's Brambly Hedge series. In the book the biggest snowstorm in years leaves enough snow for an ice ball. The Economist review of books described the book as a "Beatrix Potter through Brambly Hedge", "mousy little tales with beautiful, busy drawings". via

As a former preschool teacher, I loved sharing these books with my children. They always enjoyed them.
