Ecofiction Book Review: Animals of Farthing Wood by Colin Dann | SPOILER FREE

Hey ecofictologists! I'm really loving the anthropomorphic fantasy theme we are in this month! Some of you might recognise Animals of Farthing Wood by Colin Dann from the 90s TV show that adapted it. Apparently it was both traumatising and super popular! I think this book toes the line between enough dramatisation to make the story engaging for kids but not too much anthropomorphism so they don't learn anything from it. Caution when reading this book, people are awful! Except the mythical "naturalists"...they're great 😂
I hope you enjoy this book review!
