MFM's Features Writer, Celia, shares her most-thumbed childhood books
I loved the Brambly Hedge series about a friendly community of mice and often followed the directions in search of Brambly Hedge on the other side of the stream, across the field.... The story of the traditional midwinter celebrations in The Secret Staircase was the most magical. It's impossible not to loose yourself in the detail of the illustrations of winding staircases, the secrets of the hidden attic and the mice's fabulous store cupboard. Who knows, maybe one day I'll find Brambly hedge - I haven't stopped looking!
