Trying to find a childhood book

mwv

I can't find the sub to post this in, so someone redirect me if needed. There's a book my mam used to read to me as a child, which holds significance for both of us now. We remember some things about it, it was a collection of stories and a hardbook. I think the cover was yellow. There was a story about Bushy Tail - a squirrel who got caught out by Jack Frost and froze in the night. I think he had to be placed by a fire to thaw out. Another story was about Pipkin the Shy Pixie. There was another story which involved faires at
.. a midsummer's ball? Maybe. We lost the book a long time ago but it brings back warm memories and I'd love to track it down! I suppose I'm asking does anybody remember this or as a long shot, would anyone have a copy lying around? I'd love to get my hands on it again and maybe someone else recognises it!

Grid.

I think they were a series called Woodland Tales... ring a bell?

We had it as children and loved it! Great memories

I only remembered to check the replies to this now because I thought it was a very far reach...Thank you so so much everyone! Good god I must be terrible at googling. Fair play. That looks like the one alright, albeit with a different cover. I've ordered from a couple of vendors, so hopefully one comes through. Delighted! Thanks again, I'll update when it arrives. It will be a savage wave of nostalgia for sure.

Same as! Bedtime material for years. Lent it to my niece and nephews down the line and of course it ended up in smithereens . We still talk about Bushy tail when there's frost now, great stories and greater memories.

I'm looking for a copy of a book myself.

It's called "Fly Fishing " , by JR Hartley.

The Magic Faraway Tree was where it was at.
