Die Reise zum Hirschpark
1987
"Ein paar Sekunden später war es soweit; er wurde vom Treibholz umschlossen. Ein größeres Holzstück schlug heftig gegen seinen Kopf, und dann wurde er von der Strömung mitgerissen. Als er ein letztes Mal verzweifelt zurückblickte, sah er, wie seine Freunde um Ufer entlanggerannt kamen und versuchten mitzuhalten. Doch er wusste, dass dies unmöglich war. Ein paar Minuten später war der Fuchs völlig allein."
Die Tiere aus dem Farthing-Wald sind auf der Flucht zum Hirschpark, wo sie hoffen, ein neues ungestörtes Leben führen zu können. Aber die Gefahren auf ihrer langen, abenteuerlichen Reise wollen nicht enden. Auch der Fuchs bekommt sie zu spüren, ehe es ihm endlich gelingt, die Tiere in eine neue, sichere Heimat zu führen.

Several meetings of the Farthing Animals are held, to decide on how best to deal with the new problems facing them and they maintain the "community spirit" established with the Ancient Woodland Oath, reinforced by the journey and the perils of winter.
