John Patience
The Seasons in Fern Hollow
Paperback version of the 40th Anniversary Edition of the book that introduced the Tales from Fern Hollow series, richly illustrated in traditional style for ages 3-93.
Written and illustrated by English author/illustrator, John Patience, this book takes us on a visit to the village of Fern Hollow, tucked away somewhere in the countryside of Edwardian England. 64 pages of detailed, colourful and cheerful illustrations introduce us, through the seasons of the year, to some of the animal characters who went on to appear in the 16 titles in four series that followed through the 1980s and 1990s.
The map on the endpapers helped children find their way around the village and appeared in every single title in the Fern Hollow series. Children really loved the map and enjoyed pointing out where all their favourite Fern Hollow Characters lived and all the stories took place.
These gently humorous stories of animal folk have an enduring charm. A generation of people who had the Fern Hollow stories read to them as children have now grown up and are buying the books to read with their own children. Parents who read the books with their children back in the 1980s and 1990s are now enjoying them all over again with their grandchildren.
Now back in print from John's own imprint, Talewater Press, this edition, published in 2019, contains the same story and illustrations as the original version.
The charming and gently humorous Fern Hollow animal stories have remained popular since they were first published in 1980.
