Battle for the Park by Colin Dann
Another saga in the lives of the animals of White Deer Park. Plucky the fox and Dash the hare know nothing of the troubles which will soon shake their close community. The author won the Arts Council National Award for Children's Literature for his novel, "The Animals of Farthing Wood".
Dann, Colin: - 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.
