Liss said: “The series is a set of children’s countryside stories about four animal friends, Florence, Honey, Evie and Natalie. Each book is set in a different season and sees the character have a different adventure.

“This book is all about Evie the squirrel who creates a den in a hollow tree.

“I came up with the idea after reading an article in The Guardian which said children don’t built dens any more. I had a den when I was younger and I asked a few of my friends if they had dens and they said yes, but none of their children or mine ever did.”

A former primary school teacher, Liss started out writing for adults.
