The animals of Farthing Wood

See all formats and editions

Farthing Wood is being bulldozed and a drought means the animals no longer have anywhere to live or drink.

Fox, Badger, Toad, Tawny Owl, Mole and the other animals band together and leave their ancestral home and set off to move to a far-away nature reserve.

Their journey is full of adventure and fraught with disasters: a fire, a storm, a treacherous river crossing and a hunt.

The animals must unite in adversity and in doing so they learn about each other's habits and limitations.

This is a story about tolerance, cooperation, survival and friendship.

Both heart-wrenching and heart-warming, this classic story continues to appeal and capture children's imaginations.
