This series was one of my childhood favourites. There’s something so cosy and soothing about medieval woodland creatures. I realised however I’d only read 9/22 of them so I thought this time of year might be a good opportunity to read those I had missed.

This wasn’t one of my personal favourites (3.5), and the characters didn’t endear themselves to me as much as those in previous books. Perhaps it had a few too many battles for my taste - I prefer the myths, storytelling, and sumptuous meal descriptions.
