The tale of master Willoughby Brock

Master Willoughby Brock is a young, energetic badger who lives a quiet, respectable life with his Aunt Clementine beneath the roots of an ancient yew tree. One crisp autumn morning, a mesmerizing blue butterfly catches his attention, tempting him away from his familiar chores. Disregarding his aunt's warnings, Willoughby follows the creature deep into the forbidden woods near the Silent Pool. As the shadows grow long and the path home disappears, he meets a smooth-talking stranger in the gloom. This classic woodland tale explores what happens when curiosity leads a young badger too far from the safety of his own hearth.
