Reviews

A treacherous journey and quest for survival - one to pick up, time and time again

—— The Guardian

Beautifully evoking the Berkshire countryside in poetic language, it is an exciting, moving and powerful novel.

—— Book Trust

Beautifully written with some of the best characterisation you'll come across in children's literature, it tells the story of a group of rabbits and their will to survive despite human attempts to do otherwise. Full of adventure, humour, excitement and sadness it will enthral as much now as it did when it was first published

—— LoveReading4Kids

Absolutely stunning. A very sweet story with a touch of dark humour too. Wonderful. A fantastic book

—— Chris Haughton, author of 'A Bit Lost'

A beautifully illustrated fable

—— Millie Marotta, author of 'Millie Marotta's Animal Kingdom'

I love it. A book to buy and treasure, for yourself or others.

—— Marion Deuchars, author of 'Let's Make Some Great Art' and 'Colour'

It's touching, lovely to look at, beautifully conceived and designed. Good for children, and busy grown-ups too

—— David Gentleman, author of 'London, You're Beautiful'

...exceptionally beautiful... A modern fable, with a timeless message to appreciate what we have before it is too late.
