Little Sister Rabbit and the Fox

If Thumper had a sister she'd be as daring and adventurous as Little Sister Rabbit.

One morning Little Sister Rabbit hops out of her burrow to play. She's having fun rolling about and picking flowers but something is not quite right. What is that odd smell? Is that the sound of a rumbling tummy? Could those be red eyes watching her?

It's a hungry fox cub! Little Sister Rabbit is too scared to move. Rabbits aren't meant to be brave.

Luckily, just before the fox eats her for his dinner, she realizes just what to do. What are rabbits best at? Running foxes ragged!

From the award-winning Swedish children's author, Ulf Nilsson, and one of Europe's best-loved illustrators, Eva Eriksson, comes this charmingly illustrated tale of bravery and trusting your instincts.

These classic Little Sister Rabbit stories are much-loved bestsellers in Sweden and can now be enjoyed by new generations in English. They are beautiful, hardback gift editions with a cloth spine.

Ulf Nilsson (1948-2021) was a multi-award-winning Swedish author who wrote nearly 140 children's books. He won the renowned August prize twice -- the only children's author to do so -- and the Astrid Lindgren Prize in 2006. For many years he was president of the Swedish Academy for Children's Books.

Eva Eriksson was born in Halmstad in 1949 and is a graduate of Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design. She is one of Europe's best-loved children's illustrators, and has worked with Ulf Nilsson, Margaret Stromstedt, Rose Lagercrantz and Eva Bexell, among others. She is especially well-known in Sweden for illustrating Barbo Lindgren's successful Max series. Eva Eriksson's work has been recognised with many awards, and in 2001 she was the recipient of the Astrid Lindgren Prize. She lives and works in Dwell, near Stockholm.
