Yet it is here, in the shadow of hopelessness and death, that the Stone Mole has been born. His name is Beechen, and the aging Tryfan is entrusted with preparing him for his great task of showing all moles how the Stone's Silence may finally be known. As young Beechen sets forth from Duncton Wood, he finds that all the dark forces of the evil Word have been unleashed against him... and that he will need the courage and faith of other moles, young and old - the much-loved Mayweed, intelligent Sleekit, strong Alder, nervous Bailey and grubby Holm - if hope is to survive. Yet finally, the great love between Beechen and one last mole, perhaps the greatest of them all, must be fulfilled if there can ever be a Duncton v Found. This third volume establishes the best-selling Duncton Chronicles as a modern classic, full of rich characters, colourful action, and a loving and unforgettable evocation of the English countryside.
