Synopsis

Product Description Since publication of the first Little Grey Rabbit book in 1929, the series has become a classic of children's literature. The popularity of Alison Uttley's magical stories and Margaret Tempest's lively illustrations meant that generations of children grew up with Grey Rabbit, Squirrel, Hare, Moldy Warp and little Fuzzypeg. These lovely versions of favourite original titles will bring the world of Little Grey Rabbit to a new generation. Titles: The Squirrel, the Hare and the Little Grey Rabbit; How Little Grey Rabbit Got Back Her Tail; The Great Adventure of Hare; The Story of Fuzzypeg the Hedgehog. About the Author Alison Uttley, born in 1884 at Castle Top Farm in Derbyshire, took much inspiration from her love of the countryside.

Review

'a nice addition to a child's bookshelf and to read for a bedtime story, and especially so if Little Grey Rabbit has featured in the life of previous generations of your family.' * Baby London/Hampshire/Surrey * 'A great story of courage and loyalty. The three friends have to show great bravery and stick together to survive the danger of a weasel who has come to live nearby.' -- Julia Eccleshare * Lovereading4kids * 'nostalgic stories of a country life which has long disappeared will continue to enchant.' -- Deborah White * Blackbird reads * 'Collect the series (Templar are reissuing the first four) and they will become family favourites - I still have a collection bought when my children were little' * Parents in Touch *
