The Ark Of The People by W J Corbett
When Humans flood their valley, the gentle Willow Clan abandon their tree home and take to an oak-bough adrift on the raging tide. This is the story of their makeshift ark and their animal companions, the scout Magpie, brave Sedge the water-vole, the quarrelsome squirrels and anxious badgers.
WJ Corbett creates a superb fantasy world with a vast array of interesting characters and many twists and turns..highly recommended * Aberdeen Evening Express *
