Brambly Hedge

When I was a little person I was fascinated by the drawings in a Brambly Hedge book I had. It was about a community of mice who lived in hollowed out trees and burrows and the drawings were so detailed and perfect that I still love them. This is the picture I examined most often, a cut away of one of the tree houses:


This week I stumbled across this model via Pinterest and it bought back my delight in all the details:


There are more photo's of it here, including how it was made (and there's a link to a miniature Hobbit hole made by the same person). 

Twenty-four years have passed since I fell in love with this little house in Brambly Hedge but I still wish I could live there!
