Description
This folkloric masterpiece for our times - born of calamitous events far away, or perhaps closer to home - tells of how a hare is plunged into a zany fable; with disarming allusions.
Fifty four pages of richly illustrated joy, layering a deeper genre that can be interpreted on different levels, immersing readers of all ages.
Beset with existential woes, Hare visits his doctor - setting in motion a series of unforeseen events; all prompting mythical and mundane revelation.
Hare is fain to seek the elusive Green Man. With his fate-found friend; Hope, a girl-minx, they are involved in an extraordinary incident caused by a soldier fleeing from his own invading army - commanded by the narcissistic Generalski.
Together, the two companions endeavour to thwart the occupation of their homeland; along the way encountering characters both dangerous and delightful.
The plot is left dangling before the next episode ... does Generalski start behaving himself ? - 'fraid not.

'A quirky kid's yarn for grown-ups' indeed. Fifty four pages of richly illustrated zany joy as Hare explores to save his world. A folkloric masterpiece for our times. Once in a while, a story comes along that is born of calamitous events far away - or perhaps closer to home.Tobias Mendip
