I like the way Larwood allows the reader to see our own civilisation reflected in the rabbit world. The rabbits are mainly depicted as humans would be within the tale. Somehow though I would have liked the story to have been a bit more ''rabbity'' with maybe a few more rabbit characteristics and quirks. The novel has a great ending but there are some conundrums which are left unanswered and I am sure a second book will reveal more of the legend of Podkin One-Ear. I for one will delight in coming across the Bard again to hear him recount another tale by the fireside. I think this is a brilliant book for children and would be especially great if read aloud just as the Bard told it.
Fans of [[The Hobbit by J R R Tolkien]] will delight in this tale. As will lovers of Richard Adams's Watership Down. We also appreciated [[Chinese Calendar Tales: The Tale of Rhonda Rabbit by Sarah Brennan and Harry Harrison]]. You might also enjoy Larwood's [[The Gift of Dark Hollow by Kieran Larwood|The Gift of Dark Hollow]].
