The story of The Secret Staircase tells us that it is the middle of winter in the Blackberry Hedge. This evening, after dark, all the mice gather around a burning fire for traditional celebrations. This time, the two main characters of the book decided to recite a beautiful poem. They go up to the attic to rehearse in silence, but there are so many things to look at and explore. When the friends stumble upon a secret staircase, all thoughts of reciting the poem are forgotten and an incredible adventure begins.

The detailed colourful illustrations in The Secret Staircase were created by the author Jill Barlem herself. They make reading the book a real pleasure and perfectly complement the original storyline!
