Now back in print from John's own imprint, Talewater Press, this edition, published in 2019, contains the same story and illustrations as the original version. The charming and gently humorous Fern Hollow animal stories have remained popular since they were first published in 1980.

Robinson Crusoe after 300 Years
Author: Andreas K. E. Mueller
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1684482887
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
There is no shortage of explanations for the longevity of Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, which has been interpreted as both religious allegory and frontier myth, with Crusoe seen as an example of the self-sufficient adventurer and the archetypal colonizer and capitalist. Defoe’s original has been reimagined multiple times in legions of Robinsonade or castaway stories, but the Crusoe myth is far from spent. This wideranging collection brings together eleven scholars who suggest new and unfamiliar ways of thinking about this most familiar of works, and who ask us to consider the enduring appeal of “Crusoe,” more recognizable today than ever before.

Adventures in Fern Hollow
Author: John Patience
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781916112599
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
This hardback edition combines what were originally the first four stories from the 16 titles in the 1980s classic Tales from Fern Hollow series. These gently humourous stories are written and illustrated by English author/illustrator John Patience, with 64 pages of detailed, colourful and cheerful illustrations depicting the animal characters of the village of Fern Hollow, tucked away somewhere in the countryside of Edwardian England. As the inhabitants of Fern Hollow go about their daily lives, there are small adventures to enjoy and little mishaps to overcome. Everyone lends a helping hand and there's always a happy ending - and usually a feast for everyone to share in celebration. Characters in this collection include: Brock Gruffy, Sigmund Swamp, the Rusty family, Lord Trundle, Snitch and Snatch, P.C. Hoppit, Horace Hoppit, Spike Willowbank, Polly Prickles. Brock the Balloonist Brock is not normally an adventurous sort of badger but when he finds a hot air balloon he just has to try it out. Flying high in the sky is fun at first but there is trouble ahead, trouble and lots of it! Mr Rusty's New House One night a terrible storm hits Fern Hollow. Lightning flashes, thunder crashes and the rain comes pouring down. Mr Rusty's house is flooded and he and his family are forced to take refuge on the roof! Things look very bad for the Rusty family. What are they going to do? Sports Day All the Fern Hollow animals are excitedly preparing for the village Sports Day - it is sure to be lots of fun. The only thing they didn't prepare for is a big black cloud and pouring rain! It looks like the Sports Day will have to be called off but Lord Trundle has a bright idea. The Brass Band Robbery Lord Trundle decides that Fern Hollow should have its own brass band. The musical instruments are delivered and the animals begin to practise, but the troublesome weasels, Snitch and Snatch, have other ideas. The map on the endpapers helped children find their way around the village and went on to appear in every single title in the Fern Hollow series. Children really loved the map and enjoyed pointing out where all their favourite Fern Hollow Characters lived and all the stories took place. Naturally, we have retained the map in this new collection. These stories of animal folk have an enduring charm. A generation of people who had the Fern Hollow stories read to them as children have now grown up and are buying the books to read with their own children, nieces and nephews. Parents who shared the books with their children back in the 1980s and 1990s are now enjoying them all over again with their grandchildren. Further collections are planned to incorporate all the original titles
