There is so much going on in Near and Far Sawrey. So many people feel trapped by their lots in life. It takes stepping out of their comfort zones for Beatrix, Captain Woodcock, and Will Heelis to make sure that the people of the Land Between the Lakes get what they deserve. (Good or bad, including themselves).
The prominent narrator in this story does a splendid job of tying up all the loose ends in the community, including the lives of various talking animals.

Both children and adults will enjoy this story. (

To Peggy Moody, Webmistress, helper, and friend, with thanks for all you do

First words

Prologue: Every story has a beginning.

Chapter 1:
It was the sort of bright, dry day when farmers in the Land Between the Lakes could cut their hay and stook their barley and oats without fear that their crops would get wet and spoil.

Quotations

Fifthteenth Rule of Thumb: It is well to keep one's head when one is confronted with catastrophe, calamity, or cataclysm. Losing one's head never solves anything.
