Synopsis

When the humans abandon Boggart Hollow, the animals take over, leading to a series of whimsical tales. Among them, Mr and Mrs Rat aspire for their daughter to marry the sun, a hedgehog falls in love with a scrubbing brush, and the cow Jack exchanged for magic beans embarks on new adventures. This collection of twelve stories blends original narratives with traditional fables, all set in a village where the animal inhabitants' antics mirror those of the former human residents.
