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 . . .

READERS LOVE THE CONSTANT RABBIT

'This is Jasper Fforde at his absolute best. Clever, thought-provoking and
relevant, whilst maintaining the absurdity that we have come to love Fforde
for' 5*

'A real classic - the sort of book that will be read in fifty or a hundred
years' time' 5*

'[Jasper Fforde's] ability to take something relatively normal and turn it on
it's head is sublime, ridiculous and so enjoyable! Quirky, funny, satirical
tale with pertinent reflections on current times.' 5*

'This book couldn't have come at a better time. Frighteningly poignant given
the state of world. It's a truly wonderful piece of work that belongs right up
there with Orwell.' 5*

'This is Jasper Fforde at his finest. A witty, thought provoking read that
makes you sit up and take note of all the things going on around you. Love
this author, was already a fan, but now even more so.' 5*

'I knew within minutes of starting the opening chapter that this was Fforde at
the top of his game.' 5*
