Critic Reviews

“A great book. A whole world is created, perfectly real in itself, yet constituting a deep incidental comment on human affairs-- Guardian Stunning and compulsive reading-- Sunday Times A gripping story of rebellion in a rabbit warren and the subsequent adventures of the rebels. Adams has a poetic eye and a gift for storytelling which will speak to readers of all ages for many years to come-- Sunday Telegraph A masterpiece. The best story about wild animals since The Wind in the Willows . Very funny, exciting, often moving-- Evening Standard Extraordinary . . . magically well-made and memorable-- New York Times”

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
