Blackberry Farm (books) facts for kids
Blackberry Farm is a super fun series of children's stories. They were written by Jane Pilgrim a long time ago, first published around 1950. The original books had colorful pictures drawn by F. Stocks May. A company called Brockhampton Press in Leicester published them. When they first came out, each book cost about one shilling and sixpence.
The stories are all about a make-believe farm called Blackberry Farm. It's located near a small village in England. The farm raises sheep and makes dairy products like milk. Mr. and Mrs. Smiles own the farm. They have two children, Joy and Bob. But the most important characters are the animals! Most of the animals can talk and even chat with the human characters. They are shown at their normal size, which is pretty cool.
