I've not read the book before, but I remember the film and a book of the film I had when I was a child vividly. The story was therefore familiar, but there is so much to it - a whole invented world of rabbit mythology, a convincing attempt to understand the rabbit psyche and outlook on the world, loads of nods to classic mythology and a retelling of the Iliad, wonderful stuff and it all takes place between Basingstoke and Newbury. I'll have to head over that way and explore more. Just 2 days to christmas, I'm hoping work is quiet today and tomorrow. . .
