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. Andy Jones continues his hilarious journey through the human digestive system and tells you everything you (n)ever wanted to know about BURPS! Whether they be lady-like hiccups or onion-breath stinkers, burps are an essential part of the human experience.
The Burptionary is jam-packed full of belchy facts, gaseous jokes and burp-tastic riddles and rhymes, and is guaranteed to have boys everywhere laughing till they spew.

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.
