About the Book

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.

About the Author :
Colin Dann was born in Richmond in 1943. After leaving the local Grammar School he worked first for a large textile company before his real love – the world of books – brought him a job in publishing at William Collins in London where he worked as a manager in the Fontana paperback division. During this time, in odds hours at home, he wrote his first book The Animals of Farthing Wood which was published finally in 1979 by William Heinemann after several rejections. It was an immediate success, winning the Arts Council of Great Britain’s National Book Award for Children’s Literature and has been translated into sixteen languages. The book has never been out of print since first publication. Six sequels and one prequel have followed and enjoyed similar success. In 1992 a major animation series, based on the Farthing Wood stories and funded by the European Broadcasting Union, appeared on BBC television and simultaneously across Europe, attracting critical acclaim and great popularity. Colin has been a leading children’s author for more than thirty years. In addition to the Farthing Wood books he has written many other animal stories including a trilogy about a pride of African lions. He is married and lives with his wife Susie in a converted Oast House on the Sussex/Kent borders. Paul Whitehouse is a multi-award-winning iconic actor, performer and writer who has been involved in many of the best-loved comedy shows of the last 20 years. His roles and writing extend to The Fast Show, Happiness, Nurse, Harry and Paul, Help, David Copperfield, Finding Neverland, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Alice in Wonderland among numerous others. Awards include several Bafta and Comedy awards. In 2013 Paul won the Writer's Guild of Great Britain Award at the British Comedy Awards. Esther Coles, London based actress and writer, grew up in Cumbria but is originally from Nottingham. Esther trained at RADA and recently featured as Miss Fox in ‘Enola Holmes’ and as Mrs Cox in Autumn de Wilde’s ‘Emma’ alongside Anya Taylor-Joy. She is also known for the lead role of Liz in the BBC comedy series ‘Nurse’, in which she performed and co-wrote with Paul Whitehouse and David Cummings.
