The Slightly Spooky Tale of Fox and Mole by Cecilia Heikkila, Polly Lawson (Translator)

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.

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.
