‘We must all find a new home. Now – before it’s too late!’

Farthing Wood is being bulldozed, and there’s a drought. Fox, Badger, Toad, Tawny Owl, Mole and the other animals must band together and set off to a far-away nature reserve. Their journey is full of adventure and fraught with disasters, and the animals must work together to survive.

The Animals of Farthing Wood is one of the most popular animal stories in children’s literature and is still in print nearly 40 years after first publication.

‘The Animals of Farthing Wood always made me very happy’ – Alison Flood, Guardian

This edition features a brand-new cover by award-winning illustrator, Sam Usher.

I vaguely remembered this from my childhood and when I wanted to buy my son a new book I was drawn towards this. We have been reading it to each other and we are hooked. We have barely been able to put it down.

Every chapter has you wondering what is going to happen next. Will the animals be OK? Will they all make it? It had him researching about British wildlife and has opened his eyes to how damaging the human race has been. This is on his I must recommend to everyone list.

I terms of this particular edition it is great quality. The print size is good that it isn't too daunting. There are little images on each new chapter of the animals too which he loves.

We can't wait to start book 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un chef d'oeuvre d'écriture
Reviewed in France on February 25, 2021

Un bonheur de pouvoir découvrir l’œuvre dont l'adaptation à bercée mon enfance et à conditionné certains de mes idéaux ! L'écriture est fluide pour qui n'est pas mauvais en anglais (bon, niveau vocabulaire, il faut réviser les noms d'animaux mais vous ferez partis de ceux qui savent dire Chat-Huant en anglais), l'histoire est prenante et très réaliste (ce qui n'en fait pas un livre pour jeunes enfants).
