When generous Fox begins to resent his selfish neighbour a slightly spooky transformation takes place. The Wind in the Willows meets the Brontes in this beautiful and unusual picture book.
"Fox opened the first page of a book. Mole settled cosily, spilling cookie crumbs everywhere. This was how it always was in autumn.
'The Legend of the Scuffling Monster,' read Fox. 'Once upon a time...'"
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 lack of consideration builds, and when Mole forgets Fox's birthday, Fox too begins to transform...
Can Mole recognise what's wrong and fix things before it's too late?
This humorously hair-raising gothic tale, told in four chapters, is perfect for older picture book lovers to curl up with on long, dark evenings.
