Little Grey Rabbit Books Alison Uttley used to tell stories to her little son as they walked through the fields and woods. The tales were always based on the country traditions and country folk she knew so well in her own childhood. When her son went away to school she missed these story-telling walks and decided instead to write down the tales so that he could read them in the holidays. She never told the same tale twice, so the first one she wrote was absolutely new. It was about a Little Grey Rabbit, a Hare and a Squirrel. Such delightful stories obviously had to have illustrations, and Margaret Tempest's pictures showed Little Grey Rabbit and friends just as Alison Uttley had always imagined them. And from these happy beginnings there has grown the whole series of these enchanting little books.

Little Grey Rabbit is one of the classic gems of children's literature. The series is being relaunched to tie in with a classic television adaptation, and will delight children as much today as when it was first published seventy years ago. Little Grey Rabbit lives with Squirrel and Hare in a little house on the edge of a wood. It's March, and Hare is feeling as mad as only a March Hare can feel. So off he dashes into the village to see what he can find. There are untold delights -- jars of sweets, dolls, and wooden horses, but best of all, eggs made of chocolate with sugar flowers and ribbons tied round them. Hare decides to surprise his friends on Easter morning with these wonderful things! When he does, his cleverness is greatly admired -- but then Hare has always known just how clever he is! AGE 4-8
