About this listen

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 55 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....

Really loved it! Story kept me hooked the whole time, right mix of seriousness and humour. Really cleverly written to include relevant and current topics but in an unusual and different way. Also really liked the narrator - did a great job with voices and accents.

Loved it

Absolutely fantastic. Hats off to both the author and the narrator, who brought it to life perfectly. A story that doesn't leave you once it's over. At points I laughed and at others cried, the sign of a fantastic book that has you so invested in the story and its characters that their fate has real emotional impact. I can't wait to read/listen to more books by Jasper Fforde. Also I'm adding this book to the Christmas lists of all friends/family who love a good read - bloomin fantastic!

One of the best Audibles I have ever listened to
