My beloved illustrated children's story about badgers (What was the name??)

(1/4) > >>

superboyac:
Hi everyone, please help me remember the title/author/etc. of a book of badger stories I had when I was a kid.  I loved these stories and would read them regularly for years.  I don't remember anything.  Not the plot, not the author or title...nothing to really help.  All I can say is that I had this book in the 80's (probably late 80's).  The stories were heavily illustrated.  It's one of those illustrated books where the illustrations cover the entire page and the paragraphs are just layered over the images.

I did an initial search on google, and couldn't find it.  It's not the popular Wind in the Willows story.  The only way I'd recognize it is if I saw the illustrations.

One of the things that I remember was the elder badger.  There was an elder badger who wore spectacles, and he was a very kind, wise badger.  The stories were lovely and elegant.  In other words, they weren't hilarious or shocking or anything like that.  Very gentle, very loving stories.  I hope I can remember them.  Thanks!

The Elder Badger reminds me of "Uncle Bulgaria" from "Wombles of Wimbledon Green"

"Odyssey from River Bend", by Tom McGowen?
In a small village populated by various woodland animals, two raccoon children find a mysterious artefact belonging to "Those Who Were And Are No More", the mysterious beings who once ruled the world. An elder badger, upon studying the artefact, manages to pinpoint the location of the ancient city of Those Who Were And Are No More, and mounts an expedition there in the hope of gaining an understanding of their powers to help the village.

That's all Google would cough up that sounded remotely like it...
