This tale will have you crying with laughter as their silly antics unfold. You will find yourself cheering them on to succeed in their self appointed tasks.
‘The Competition’ – Sees Percival Downtwistle, the wise barn owl, helping out the royal red deer family of Quarendale Hill resolve dire problems of state.
The two eldest sons of the Herd Master, and King of the Hill, create serious unrest within their kingdom, as they continually battle with each other for the right to be proclaimed the next King after their aging father retires.
Percival devises a plan to settle the question of which of them is most suitable to reign.
Much to the relief of all concerned, he teaches the old king the true meaning of respect and wisdom, which is as equally important to any ruler as physical strength.
As Percival helps to solve the problem, he shows all the creatures there is always more than one way to resolve differences.
‘The Odd Couple’ – About a beautiful longhaired fawn coloured Persian cat, who teams up with a tubby little jet black, smooth haired guinea pig when they escape from a Veterinary clinic and find their way into Hallowed Hollow.
Here they make a new life for themselves. This is a tale of deep and lasting friendship bought about by personal needs.
It tells of the ways, and the things they did to overcome their worst handicaps. It shows, that if those suffering any hardship join together and help each other to fix the difficult problems, the most unlikely combinations can work together successfully.
