Synopsis
Set in the beautiful English countryside of the Berkshire Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale of adventure, courage, and survival follows a band of very special rabbits fleeing the destruction of their home by a developer. Led by a stout-hearted pair of brothers, they leave the safety of Sandleford Warren in search of a safe haven and a mysterious promised land, skirting danger at every turn.
Our Review
This follows a group of rabbits who leave their Warren just before it is destroyed by man and go in search of a new one.
We enjoyed their adventures and drawing parallels between the way rabbit and human communities are created.
Lengthy but well written and enjoyable on simple and complex levels.
