Product Description
Book Description
Another gripping adventure of the animals of Farthing Wood, by award-winning author Colin Dann.
Product Description
'I mean to be not only the leadero f the deer herd but Lord of the Reserve. So you must stay in your corner of the Park, all of you... otherwise you'll be permitted here no longer.'
Trey, the new leader of the deer herd of White Deer Park, has decided that there is no room for the smaller animals in the reserve.
The future looks very bleak for Badger, Adder, Owl and the others - and then the night of the great storm brings more danger . . .

Amazingly, Colin Dann has managed to keep up momentum in a series that, had anyone else written it, would probably have flagged after the third book. "In the Path of the Storm" puts the Animals of Farthing Wood under fire from a domineering new stag who has taken charge of the white deer from which the park got its name. The new stag names himself Lord of the Reserve, drunk on his own power, and right at a time when the animals needed it least: the river appears poisoned, a great storm is coming, and Tawny Owl has left the park...
Some great character development is the drive for this one, which Dann somehow keeps up even after all the other volumes. Focusing primarily on Tawny Owl, who feels badgered about his bachelorism and leaves the park to find a mate - and to go home to what's left of Farthing Wood - and on Badger, who sinks further into confused dotage and illness. The writing is very sympathetic and compelling, with no page hampered by over-description or unnecessary introspection. The narrative flies, the story steamrolls, and this is definately a worthy addition to the series, as good as any of the others.

This is probably the most exciting of the six sequels to The Animals of Farthing Wood. It relates the further adventures of the survivors of the Farthing Wood adventurers. The Great Stag of the white deer is dead and his successor, Trey, decides that there is no room in the nature reserve for the smaller animals. Things look bleak for the various species including talpine, leporine and oryctolagine.
However, although Trey is strong and fearsome, he does not anticipate the power of nature intervening. Tawny Owl leaves the nature reserve and finds that Farthing Wood is no more and has been turned into a housing estate named Farthinghurst. He also finds something else!
As with all the stories except the original minor classic, there are attractive chapter headers - this time drawn by Trevor Newton - and these complement the story extremely well
A recommended read!
