Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Little Grey Rabbit's Party by Alison Uttley Little Grey Rabbit
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Little Grey Rabbit's Party by Alison Uttley Little Grey Rabbit. – 50th Anniversary of Grey Rabbit’s May Day. – Does anyone know why Little Grey Rabbit was a Grey Rabbit? Alison Uttley and Little Grey Rabbit. Alison Uttley published her first Little Grey Rabbit book in 1929. Based on a brilliantly imagined community of animals with homely, sensible Little Grey Rabbit, vain and selfish Squirrel and the boastful and adventurous Hare at their centre, these square little books, beautifully and sensitively illustrated by Margaret Tempest, were soon selling in their hundreds of thousands, making their author,Alison Uttley, a household name. With a varied and supporting cast of characters, including Moldy Warp the mole, Fuzzypeg the little hedgehog, Wise Owl, Water Rat, the Speckledy Hen, and many more, the thirty or so tales describe the everyday life and the adventures, trials and dilemmas of their woodland characters, upon whom the occasional swooping danger descends and is contained by a mixture of good sense, togetherness and courage. Alison Uttley was convinced that children loved the Little Grey Rabbit characters ‘because I believe in them. Mine aren’t made up, they’re real…I was born in a place of beauty…I talked to all the animals’. Brought up as the unusually gifted daughter of a tenant farmer and his wife in the hilly Derbyshire countryside, Alison was indeed surrounded by animals on her beloved and remote Castle Top Farm and those in the surrounding woods and fields. She felt that animals ‘have such a raw deal, and I think they are very faithful and very, very patient.’ She wrote: ‘In these little books I always try to give some specially English touch of country life, which might [otherwise] be forgotten.’ More than this, Alison was a passionate observer of the changing seasons and of the swirling constellations in the night skies.
