Book synopsis

An enchanting fable for all ages, set in the beautiful fenlands of Eastern England.

Originally written as a musical for narrator and small orchestra, Sue Heaser's lyrical words and illustrations create a richly described world of small creatures in glorious settings and emphasises their ever-present fear of Man.
The illustrations are mostly silhouettes backed with hand-made marbled papers and strongly evoke the atmosphere and secrets of a fenland habitat of water, lush plants and soaring trees.

The story tells of a Midsummer day when a little hare leaves his home beside the riverbank to go exploring. At first all is idyllic as he ventures further and further into the fen. But then a terrifying encounter with the world of man catapults him into a frightening adventure and he struggles to find his way home. On his way, he meets many of the gentle creatures who inhabit the watery world of an English fen.

A delightful little book for everyone from young children to anyone who treasures wildlife and nature.
