Somewhere deep in the heart of the country lies the old village of Foxwood - a special place where adventure brings fun and Endeavour reaps reward. If you ever go there and if you keep your eyes and ears open, you may catch a glimpse of Harvey, Rue and Willy or some of the many other characters in the village. Then you may be invited to sit round a cosy fire and thrill to the wonderful FOXWOOD TALES.
Foxwood Village is preparing for the Regatta and the cheating rats are up to their old tricks again. This year, however, they've got Harvey Mouse, Rue Rabbit and Willy Hedgehog to contend with as the teams go head to head on the river. Skulduggery in the last stage of the race ensures a win for the rats but, as Harvey, Rue and Willy prove in their magnificent boat, 'The Duchess of Foxwood', coming second doesn't make you second best.
The Foxwood friends are going full steam ahead in this great adventure featuring Brian Patersons' vibrant watercolour illustrations.
