In one corner of the White Deer Park nature reserve,there lives a unique group of animals.Fox,Kestrel,Badger,Toad,Mole, Adder and a host of other small animals have all helped each other on the perilous journey from their threatened home Farthing Wood to what they believe to be the safety of the White Deer nature reserve.But the animals soon discover their troubles have only begun.The nature reserve is in the grip of one of the hardest winters on record.Food is scarce for all the animals and for the smallest among them starvation is not far away.When Badger does not return from a brave attempt to find food,the other animals are desperate.And at the same time as Fox plans a daring raid to find food, a new danger threatens them.Unknown to the warden,poachers have stolen into the park and are hunting the animals.
In the Grip of Winter is the sequel to the award-winning Animals of Farthing Wood,Colin Dann's first book for children,
and in it he again combines all the thrilling excitement of a fast-moving story with a deep knowledge of and concern for wild animals.
