Another adventure of the 'Deep Woodlanders' by Elleston Trevor

This is the first adventure of the Deep Woodlanders and was originally broadcast just over ten years ago. In it Potter, Stripey, and Woo set out to deal with a particularly annoying tump that has suddenly appeared in Badger's Beech, and find a new friend in little Digger Mole. Digger thinks that Deep Wood is 'the most delight-some place I ever did see in all me days.'
