Description
If Edgar Allan Poe wrote for children! Fox and Mole find a spooky story spilling into their lives in this autumnal tale for older picture-book readers.
Fox and Mole live alone on a headland, in two houses, side by side. Mole is carefree and self-centred. Fox is responsible and self-sacrificing.
As autumn draws in, the friends read a spooky story together (that Mole keeps interrupting) about a racoon who transforms into a scuffling monster (a slightly spooky bit) while Mole eats Fox's cookies (all of them). Fox's anger with Mole's selfishness grows and soon Fox too begins to transform...
The Wind in the Willows meets the Brontës in this unique picture book, told in four chapters, which promises an immersive thrill for readers aged 6 and up. A cozy, wry, gothic tale for curling up with on long, dark evenings.
