**The Animals of Farthing Wood**

This, by far, is one of my oldest collections!
In the early to mid 90s (When I was around 10-13 years old), I was completely in love with this show. At my Junior school I was quite known for my love of the show and was forever drawing the characters. Unfortunately, when I moved up to secondary school, I was often taunted for it by a lot of the other kids there, a huge difference from my previous school where the other kids accepted it and would sometimes ask me to teach them how to draw the characters.
I stuck with it until the show's end though, and drifted onto other things afterwards, but I still have a lot of the stuff that I had collected through those years and I could never bring myself to get rid of it.
Apparently, season one of the show has been released on DVD in France and Germany. I'm hoping for a UK release too, as I'd love to watch the show again.

 Photobucket The Animals of Farthing Wood Books by Colin Dann

These are the original stories that inspired the TV show. There are a number of differences from the books to the TV show, but both are complete classics. The only two stories that were never shown in the show, was the Prequel "The Adventure Begins" and "The Siege of White Deer Park".
 Photobucket Farthing Wood Friends Magazine

These bring back memories. I had this series on order down at the local newsagents and every Thursday I would come home from school and go straight down to collect it :3 The Magazine was 130 issues long, with an added 4 holiday special magazines (Two summer, two winter). Each magazine came with a gift, unfortunately I don't believe I have any of those anymore, except the play-scene board, which came with re-stickable characters in the first few issues.
I have all 130 issues + the specials (But issue 25 is currently missing, I'm not sure where it is D:).
