Elena Mannion Book order (chronological)

In this third book in the series, good friends Old Oak and Mr Shield worry about the weather.

Strong Old Oak is a haven for all creatures in his magnificent hedgerow. In this, his mast year, he has one little acorn that is very dear to him. When he is carried off by a squirrel, Little Acorn must survive the perils of hungry deer and curious walkers. A brave little sapling emerges in this tale of regeneration, growth and the cycle of life.

An Old Oak stands amid his own beloved hedgerow on the edge of a field. When the farmer gets rid of his friend Beech's hedgerow, the Old Oak watches sadly as it is destroyed. But hope is returned when a new farmer comes to plant fresh saplings. Engendering affection for our hedgerows, this unique tale is rich in abundant details of flora and fauna.
