Answer: In a hole in a hill under a big tree
Mr. Fox and his family live in a hole and tunnel system under the big tree on the hill. This is in the woodland, safely beyond the farms of the nasty farmers, or so he thinks. He soon finds out that he is wrong.
Mr. Rat the water rat, who is one of the heroes of "The Wind in the Willows," lives in a hole in the riverbank. His friend Mole calls him Ratty.
The hole that goes straight down, with cupboards and shelves on either side belongs to the white rabbit. This is the hole Alice falls down at the beginning of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
Mr. Bilbo Baggins, a very respectable hobbit (and at the beginning of the story a rather stuffy one), lives in a hole (or rather an underground house) in a hill, that has a lovely, green door with a shiny brass doorknob right in the middle. You can read about his adventures in "The Hobbit."

Answer: Farmer Boggis, Farmer Bunce and Farmer Bean
In the cast of characters at the beginning of the book Farmer Boggis is named as a mean man, Farmer Bunce is named as a nasty man and Farmer Bean is named as a beastly man. All in all, they aren't very nice.
Surprisingly, Hogg and Head are real last names. Haggis isn't a name at all though. It is a large, sausage-like meat dish that is popular in Scotland.
Though Bacon is, surprisingly, a real last name, it comes as no surprise at all to find that pancake and sausage aren't. All three are names of yummy breakfast foods - but, you knew that.
