The Constant Rabbit

Jasper Fforde2020
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
