The Duncton Chronicles is William Horwood’s epic fantasy saga about moles. Duncton Wood (1980) introduced readers to a richly detailed underground world, and the series grew to six novels chronicling generations of mole society. The later books (Duncton Tales, Duncton Rising, Duncton Stone) form the Book of Silence trilogy within the larger saga.
The series has earned devoted fans who appreciate its ambition in creating a complete civilization from the perspective of its animal inhabitants.
