Adventure Begins by Colin Dann
At the meeting of the animals of Farthing Wood, Fox recalls the oath of mutual protection. This book takes the reader back to the events that lead up to the original pledge: the feud between the foxes and the otters, the mysterious sickness and the first signs of human encroachment.
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.
