A lonely haggis tries to escape the clutches of a farmer who wants to eat him for his dinner.

Horace the Haggis, homeless and hunted, finds refuge among the animals of Acre Valley. The animals are quick to befriend him and do all they can to help him. However, Angus McPhee, chief of the haggis-hunters, and his vicious cat are out to trap him.

Can a vegetarian fox, a loyal mouse, a gossipy rook, two magpies on Twitter and the bumbling efforts of the Mole Patrol help Horace escape before he is caught in a net and boiled for dinner?

A fun adventure story, full of great characters.
