I’m looking for a book I used to borrow from the library in the 80s (book may be older) about a mole that gets dug up when the earthshifters come in to prepare the land for building. It was a hardback with a picture of a mole looking out of a molehill. Dark colours. Browns and blacks. Thank you.
ON HIATUS – Stump the Bookseller
We are unfortunately ON HIATUS through the end of 2026. Thanks for your patience; we'll be back ASAP.
Could this be Farewell to Shady Glade by Bill Peet? Originally published in 1966 but some libraries still have copies.
Thank you for replying but this is not the book. Your help is much appreciated and I found the book you suggested very interesting and will be looking it up. Many thanks.
Sounds like “Mr. Mole” by Luis Murschetz
I looked this book up on the internet and it seems that this is the one! Many, many thanks.
Maybe The Animals of Farthing Wood? Cover sounds like Duncton Wood, but that’s not really a kid’s book.
Thank you for replying. This is not the book but when I looked it up on the internet I was taken by its beautiful illustrations. I will certainly be looking to purchase this one. Many thanks.
