THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR 'Sheer inventiveness, wit, complexity, erudition, unexpectedness and originality' The Times *** England, 2020. There are 1.2 million human-sized rabbits living in the UK. They can walk, talk and drive cars, the result of an Inexplicable Anthropomorphising Event fifty-five years ago. And a family of rabbits is about to move into Much Hemlock, a cosy little village where life revolves around summer fetes, jam-making, gossipy corner stores, and the oh-so-important Best Kept Village awards. No sooner have the rabbits arrived than the villagers decide they must depart. But Mrs Constance Rabbit is made of sterner stuff, and her family are behind her. Unusually, so are their neighbours, long-time residents Peter Knox and his daughter Pippa, who soon find that you can be a friend to rabbits or humans, but not both. With a blossoming romance, acute cultural differences, enforced rehoming to a MegaWarren in Wales, and the full power of the ruling United Kingdom Anti Rabbit Party against them, Peter and Pippa are about to question everything they'd ever thought about their friends, their nation, and their species. It'll take a rabbit to teach a human humanity . . . PRAISE FOR JASPER FFORDE 'A born wordsmith of effervescent imagination' Independent 'Forget all the rules of time, space and reality; just sit back and enjoy the adventure' Telegraph 'Endlessly imaginative and distinctively quirky' Mail on Sunday on Early Riser 'True literary comic genius' Sunday Express 'Brilliantly funny . . . His relentless imagination and his affection for his characters are contagious and irresistible' New York Times READERS LOVE THE CONSTANT RABBIT 'This is Jasper Fforde at his absolute best. Clever, thought-provoking and relevant, whilst maintaining the absurdity that we have come to love Fforde for' 5* 'A real classic - the sort of book that will be read in fifty or a hundred years' time' 5* '[Jasper Fforde's] ability to take something relatively normal and turn it on it's head is sublime, ridiculous and so enjoyable! Quirky, funny, satirical tale with pertinent reflections on current times.' 5* 'This book couldn't have come at a better time. Frighteningly poignant given the state of world. It's a truly wonderful piece of work that belongs right up there with Orwell.' 5* 'This is Jasper Fforde at his finest. A witty, thought provoking read that makes you sit up and take note of all the things going on around you. Love this author, was already a fan, but now even more so.' 5* 'I knew within minutes of starting the opening chapter that this was Fforde at the top of his game.' 5* Less
