Cedar Island Dreams

<p>Anforth the raccoon didn't mean to do battle with the pirate wolves of the mainland but then he didn't mean to sink his uncle's boat in the cove on Cedar Island either or discover what he discovered there.</p><p>Generations ago the humans did something to raise the intelligence of many animal species and then they went away somewhere leaving almost nothing behind. A drowned city. A hidden treasure...</p><p>None of the animals knows what it was that the humans did or where it was the humans went. They only know it's a pretty peaceful world at least in the Inner Islands where Anforth and his friends Flutesam the otter and Crow the crow make their homes.</p><p>A wolf named Grey wants to change all that. Wolves aren't like other animals. They're a pack animal. They have leaders. Even so wolves have more sense than to become pirates most of the time. But with Grey as their leader it seems like a good idea somehow... until they meet a raccoon named Anforth who really just wants to go home and have a cup of tea beside his warm fire.</p><p><em>Cedar Island Dreams</em> is a story of friendship and hardship courage and kindness. It's for people who loved <em>The Wind in the Willows</em> but wished it had even more mucking about in boats.</p>
