The Beasts Of Boggart Hollow by Andrew Matthews

Twelve stories about the animals who live in Boggart Hollow and the silly thingsthey do. Among them are Mr and Mrs Rat who are so ambitious for their daughter that they want her to marry the sun; a hedgehog who falls in love with a scrubbing brush, and the cow Kack sold in exchange for five magic beans. A mixture of new and traditional stories, this book is set in a village where all the animals know each other and is illustrated with lively drawings, including a map of Boggart Hollow.
