Complete Tales Of Blackberry Farm
Jane Pilgrim
Hardcover
(Mercury Books, Nov. 10, 2005)
Reading bedtime stories to her young children inspired Jane Pilgrim to begin to creating her own stories inspired by the farm animals that she had known and loved as a child on Exmoor and in the Lake District. She purposely set out to tell stories which were appealing and friendly and not at all frightening. Her children loved these tales and begged her for more. Jane began writing them down and soon had a collection of warm and enchanting tales from Blackberry Farm. Jane Pilgrim’s delightful farm characters and their many adventures are vividly brought to life by the gloriously colorful illustrations of F Stocks May. The result is a volume of timeless stories which have enthralled generations of children and will continue to weave their magic for generations to come.Stories include:Postman JoeMrs. NibbleEmily the GoatLittle MarthaNaughty GeorgeHenry Goes VisitingMother Hen and MaryErnest Owl Starts a SchoolA Bunny in TroubleMrs. Nibble Moves HouseThe Adventures of WalterWalter Duck and WinifredSports Day at Blackberry FarmPoor Mr. NibbleLucy Mouse Keeps a SecretSam SparrowSaturday at Blackberry FarmMr. Mole Takes ChargeMrs. Squirrel and HazelMr. Nibble Calls a DoctorRusty the SheepdogThe Birthday PicnicHide and Seek at Blackberry FarmSnow at Blackberry FarmChristmas at Blackberry Farm
