A Squirrel's Tale
The forests and countryside of South West Scotland provide the backdrop to the story, home to a colony of red squirrels that have lived peacefully here for generations under the watchful eye of the Lord of the Sky – Maker of all things. One day that tranquillity is shattered when Rusty (the main character) witnesses the brutal murder of a small outlying Clan of Reds by a marauding army of invading grey squirrels. Abaddon, the ferocious leader of the Greys has come North with his hordes, set on killing all red squirrels once and for all. Vastly outnumbered, it will be up to Rusty and his friends to galvanize the Clans to overcome all odds and make one last stand to fight for the very survival of their species.
Truly an excellent book for readers young and old alike. A gripping story that really draws you into their world. Incredibly convincing yet also a sharp reflection of our own. A suspenseful and swiftly paced story, A Squirrel’s Tale follows closely in the tradition of another classic fantasy Watership Down.
