Description
Little Grey Rabbit is one of the classic gems of children's literature. The series is being relaunched, tying in with a new, beautifully animated television adaptation, and will delight children as much today as when it was first published seventy years ago. Down in the dell live a family of Bad Weasels, but their dark little house is hidden, and they slip out and silently rob passers by. It's a mystery to Grey Rabbit and her friends just how things disappear down this Shady Lane! Then one day, Grey Rabbit takes a short cut and the weasels leap out and carry off her off! Poor Grey Rabbit is forced to cook and clean for the wicked family. Whatever will she do? As her friends hunt for her high and low, Wise Owl hears Grey Rabbit's singing and swoops down to rescue her! Then brave Wise Owl returns to frighten off the weasels forever -- making sure they leave behing everything they have stolen!

Alison Uttley was born in 1884 in Derbyshire. She wrote about her characters, "Why do children love them? Because I believe in them." And it is easy to imagine that just over the next hill, little Grey Rabbit, quick Squirrel, bold Hare, kind Moldy Warp and little Fuzzypeg really are all going about their business.
