The Farthing Wood Collections, by Colin Dann (Red Fox, £4.99)
AN apparent "surge of requests" from young fans demanding that these books be brought back into print has led to the first four classic stories from The Animals of Farthing Wood being brought together in two value-for-money collections.
In the prequel to The Animals of Farthing Wood, The Adventure Begins, we meet an earlier generation of animals whose descendants will make their epic journey from Farthing Wood to White Deer Park.
Read on to discover how the animals survived their first and harshest winter away from Farthing Wood in In the Grip of Winter.
The birth of four new fox cubs brings happiness to the animals, but can the cubs survive against the odds?
In Fox's Feud, fox vows revenge for the death of his cub - but is he a match for Scarface?
In The Fox Cub Bold, Bold decides to leave the reserve and explore the outside world but he is shot by a hunter and must lie, badly wounded, hoping that help will come.
Colin Dann's award-winning books combine adventure and fantasy stories with a strong interest in wildlife and conservation.
His distinctive style enables the reader to see, live and feel through the emotions of all his animal characters.
