The rabbits came many grandparents ago. They built houses, made roads, had children. They cut down trees. A whole continent of rabbits...The Rabbits offers a rich and immensely valuable perspective on the effect of man on his environment. Visually loaded and told with a passion for truth and understanding, The Rabbits aims to promote cultural awareness and a sense of caring for the natural world. A rich and haunting allegory for all ages, and all cultures. Re-released here for its 10th anniversary of publication is the original poignant text by the inimitable John Marsden, with exquisite illustrations by the multi-award-winning Shaun Tan.
