Hi I'm hoping that someone might remember this book and can help jog my memory with the name of this childrens book.

One story is about a vole (?) called verity who wants some new shoes. I think she goes to see a shoemaker mole (?) who offers to make them but she has to go and collect blackberries to die them the right shade of purple. Its either a collection of stories in a set or short stories all in one book.

I read this story endlessly when I was growing up in early-80's Have tried google and amazon but either my memory is off - totally possible! or its no longer in print.

If anyone can help with this I would be v grateful!

Thanks for the suggestions, it got me searching in a closer direction. Eventually found - was a Jenny Partridge Oakapple Wood Treasury.

I had this one too and I loved it. In fact I think that it is still at my mum and dad's house. Thank you for a lovely nostalgia trip.
