The Complete Brambly Hedge

I remember having the book Sea Story as a child and really loving the illustrations. Twenty-something years later, I work in Japan teaching children and thought of the book when lesson planning. A few months later I thought of it again and decided to see if there were more stories and if I could buy it. I was very happy to find that there are actually 8 stories and amazon.com Japan sells the hardcover compilation for around 3,000¥. So I ordered one. I don't even have children of my own, just wanted a copy for myself!
