Revisiting this old favorite from my early adolescent years was absolutely wonderful. 

My favorite thing about this book is the psychology of the rabbits. There is so much thoughtfulness in the writing of their existence as prey animals. They are always hypervigilant and fearful, but I love that because it makes all their acts of courage that much more courageous, their acts of heroism that much more heroic.

A triumphant and surprisingly moving story fit for readers of all ages.
