pickI read the whole series finally, the writing is fairly simple and so were the plots. But characters, their interactions and the humour made up for it. It also had some rather gruesome and sad deaths for children‘s series. My favourite book was “The Fox Cub Bold” because it had a more serious plot. I also found that final book ended the series really satisfyingly. If you like animal fantasy books, then you should check out this series.
Definitely a book that makes you think ❤️ 🌍
“I must confess, I shall never understand humans,‘ Fox said, shaking his head. In the wild certain animals pray on others who ,in turn, pray on smaller ones.Every creature knows what is his enemy, and also what he has no reason to fear. But those humans, who a short while ago were clamouring for our deaths, will probably go home and play with their dogs and talk to their horses with real effection.‘
pickSuch a wonderful read, a must for all animal lovers and definitely not just for children. I wasn‘t expecting to love this so much, Not just all warm fuzzy feelings though , there are many serious topics bought up in the book. Fox hunting , littering , fires started from a single cigarette , the effects of poisonous pesticides,the importance of conservation and all from different animals perspectives. Really quite a powerful book! 🐰 🦊 🦡 🐍

Finally started reading the original Animals of farthing wood, brings back childhood memories and wow it really pulls on your heart strings 🦊 🦡 🦉 🐍
Had me immediately thinking of all the over developing & huge new housing estates going up around our area.
One of the first chapters is toads story,he goes into detail of how he was captured in a jam jar in the blistering heat by one of the school children and taken far away from his home 🐸😢
pickThis little one came through the post this morning . I thought I had purchased the novel but it turned out to be a cute short story .
It bought back such fond memories we managed to find the tv series on YouTube.
Mean mummy though only allowed to watch the first one until we read the full book.
Really enjoyed this book. A true classic
My favourite childhood book is The Animals of Farthing Wood by Colin Dann. It was the first book I ever bought for myself (a month's worth of pocket money - totally worth it) and now I'm reading it with my daughters. I bought them their own copy for a proper read-along during the summer holidays.
