A story of rebellion in a rabbit warren and the subsequent adventures of the rebels.
I always like stories about animals and this one aswell. It's nice to read a story about a whole different world, the world of rabbits. With it's own language and myths.

Thank you, my Secret Angel 2009! :)I got your gift today.(And that's from ICELAND, exotic to me. :) ) Among the book there were three little christmas cards, stickers and a towel/table cloth with a christmas-theme. It's nice to get into christmas mood with those.
The picture is not so good, because it was taken with my cellphone.

Quite a different book this one. It was interesting how the author had given the rabbits same kind of creation myths as in many human cultures. Well, you never know. What if animals have those kind of myths after all... :o
...Which reminded me of the quote:
"We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form."
- William Ralph Inge, "The Idea of Progress" (Romanes Lecture, 27 May 1920)-
That is probably true.
I would not take this purely as a children's book, but more as a fantasy.
