Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A rich and haunting allegory of colonization for all ages and cultures, told from the viewpoint of native animals. This stunning picture book examines the consequences of the arrival of a group of rabbits with entirely unfamiliar ways. They bring new food and animals, and they make their own houses to live in, eventually dominating the environment and its other inhabitants. The parallels with our own experience are many: "They chopped down our trees and scared away our friends and stole our children..."

Review:

"Marsden's...concentrated prose leaves much of the storytelling to Tan's intricate, imaginative paintings....a powerful parable of the irrational violence and profound waste of imperial conquest." Publishers Weekly

Synopsis:

An allegory of colonisation told from the perspective of native animals, when invaded by a group of rabbits.
