Little Grey Rabbit: The Speckledy Hen cover

A beautiful new edition of this classic children's tale.



Since their first publication in 1929, the Little Grey Rabbit stories have captured the hearts of many and become children's classics. For over 80 years, generations of children have grown up reading the adventures of Little Grey Rabbit, Squirrel, Hare and all their animal friends.

One bright day, Speckledy Hen decides to leave the farmyard and find a home of her own. But it's not long until Fox finds her there. Can Little Grey Rabbit and her friends create the perfect diversion to help the hen and her chicks escape?

Since their first publication in 1929, the Little Grey Rabbit stories have captured the hearts of many and become children's classics. Beautifully told by Alison Uttley and brought to life by Margaret Tempest's charming illustrations, these stories enchant children and adults alike. For over 80 years, generations of children have grown up reading the adventures of Little Grey Rabbit, Squirrel, Hare and all their animal friends.

Now Little Grey Rabbit and his friends are back and the hundreds of thousands who enjoyed the stories in childhood will look forward to sharing them with new generations.

A brilliant student and a graduate in physics from Manchester University, Alison Uttley nevertheless believed in fairies and ghosts and perhaps it was this belief which added to the charm of the stories. She was a woman whose love of the countryside and animals shone out of her books and her tales of Little Grey Rabbit, Squirrel, Hare, Moldy Warp and Fuzzypeg are described as classics of children's literature.
