Hector Heatherblow of Bracken Ridge
When the gooseberries on Bracken Ridge turn inexplicably sweet, gentle hare Hector Heatherblow does what any sensible creature would do - he puts on his patchwork coat (stitched from rags by Auntie Hazel) and sets off to investigate the wider world.
He arrives in the bustling village of Little Nettleford with good manners, steady paws, and a firm belief that tea should be properly stirred.
What he finds is a town that could use a little tartness.
There's Angus Bristle, the hopeful hedgehog who adores balloons despite the inevitable popping.
There's Augustus King, a kingfisher with an extremely high opinion of himself.
There's sharp-eyed Sylvia Slink, who moves faster than most truths.
And presiding (with impressive authority) is Brigadier Beatrice MacFarlane, who believes moderation is a civic virtue.
Across twelve delightfully stand-alone tales, Hector navigates missing teaspoons, indoor windstorms, runaway rumours, public addresses, balloon experiments, and the complicated business of belonging.
Warm, whimsical, and chaotically charming, Hector Heatherblow of Bracken Ridge is perfect for readers who love classic animal adventures in the spirit of gentle countryside tales - stories full of heart, humour, and the quiet bravery of being properly polite in an unpredictable world.
Because sometimes home is a ridge.
Sometimes it's a town.
Sometimes it's something you carry inside your coat pocket.
