Uncle Charlie Weasel's Winter
(Mammoth)
978-0416131628, RRP £1.75, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
The villainous Charlie Weasel, thief, liar and wino, evicts a band of courageous mice from a mysterious item of discarded furniture, before using it as a base from which to conduct a campaign of plunder against the winter foodstocks of the other forest animals. A simply told, knockabout tale, spiced up with a couple of touches of Dahlian muckiness, that would probably appeal to lower juniors seeking a slightly gutsier perspective on woodland life than that provided by Potter and Grahame.
