The Podkin series is so evocative of the detail and imagination in these stories, that is was an absolute joy to immerse myself in these stories. As a child, I was swept away by books like Watership Down and Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH such intricately created, rich and vivid animal fantasy settings that created whole new worlds in the readers' minds. It is the story set in the world of rabbit communities where evil forces fight against the natural order, kindness and inherent goodness of 'rabbitkind'.
The legend of Podkin One Ear is an epic storytelling 'tale within a tale' that has a classic and timeless appeal from its very first line. The Gift of Dark Hollow (The Legend of Podkin One-Ear, Book 2) Reviews well, rabbits.'
