That looks like a lovely book but I don't think it's the one. I have an extremely hazy inkling that my book featured a prominent wall, maybe the outer bounds to a town or castle in which the protagonist lived? I've also long associated the book with fantasy and a forested setting, but no idea if those memories are real or invented. My book also featured humans (or at least, I don't think the protagonist was a badger).

Thanks for sharing. There are times I only want to eat bread and jam, so I may check out your book lol.

Decades ago for you. My kid makes me read those books every night.
