The Rout of the Ollafubs, which is somewhere between a short episodic novel and a collection of linked short stories with recurring characters. Fairy-tale-ish fantasy. I read it as a child and remembered that I enjoyed the stories featuring the family of talking bears (there's something about making a bear cub with a Cornish accent the hero of a fantasy adventure that guarantees it's not going to stick to well-worn lines) but was bored by the stories with human protagonists. I had hoped that I would find more to appreciate in those parts coming back as an adult.
