The Animals of Farthing Wood – Colin Dann
This one is pure nostalgia driven, I spotted this in a charity shop a while ago and grabbed it like my life depended on it. The Animals of Farthing Wood were such a big part of my early childhood, I watched the TV series on CBBC, had the kids book collection, one of which is also pictured, and still have the annuals that came out at the time. I loved The Animals of Farthing Wood so when I saw I had to get the book it was all based on.
The story follows a group of animals, led by Fox, as they make the decision to leave their home behind. People are bulldozing Farthing Wood to make room for new houses and Toad has just returned with news of a nature reserve where the group can live without fear.
The animals make a pact to protect each other, predators and prey alike. As the animals make their journey to White Deer Park, they encounter various obstacles that endanger their lives such as fires, hunters and other predators.
I loved every second of this book, it may be the fond memories of it but it was just a lovely story of a group, putting aside their nature’s to protect each other and ensure their own survival. The group comes together to overcome anything in their path. There are sad points and the feeling that it might not work out for them all but overall it’s just a heart warming story and it offered some happy memories of childhood!
