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 from Colin Dann, which inspired the major BBC children’s series of the 1990s. The Animals of Farthing Wood is one of the most popular animal stories in children’s literature and is still in print nearly 35 years after first publication.

Not sure why Audible don’t also have the 2nd book In the Grip of Winter. So disappointing 💔

Absolute classic such a great story. All kids should read this one

This book is narrated by two different people. Switching back-and-forth from chapter to chapter. That took a little while to get used to but once I did I enjoyed the book. Both narrator’s were good
