A
lavishly illustrated woodland tale with a classic sensibility and modern flair,
from the author of the novel Wicked, which inspired the hit musical.
Gregory
Maguire turns his trademark wit and wisdom to an animal adventure about growing
up, moving on and finding community. When Papa doesn't return from a nocturnal
honey-gathering expedition, Cress holds out hope, but her mother assumes the
worst. It’s a dangerous world for rabbits, after all. Mama moves what’s left of
the Watercress family to the basement unit of the Broken Arms, a run-down
apartment oak with a suspect owl landlord, a nosy mouse superintendent, a rowdy
family of squirrels and a pair of songbirds who broadcast everyone’s business.
Can a dead tree full of annoying neighbours, and no Papa, ever be home?
In the
timeless spirit of E. B. White and The Wind and the Willows – yet thoroughly of
its time – this read-aloud and read-alone gem for animal lovers of all ages
features an unforgettable cast that leaps off the page in glowing illustrations
by David Litchfield.
