The classic Little Grey Rabbit books are back!

Down in the dell, behind a curtain of foxgloves, lives a family of crafty w easels. They steal from all the little animals as they walk by; Speckledy Hen's eggs, Moldy Warp's axe... One day, as Little Grey Rabbit bravely hurries past the w easels' haunt, they jump out and snatch her away. "We've been waiting for you," the weasels say, "we want somebody to bake and wash and clean." Now it is up to her woodland friends to save Little Grey Rabbit and finally teach those weasels a lesson!

A beautiful new edition of this classic children's tale. When Squirrel, Hare and Little Grey Rabbit come down with colds, their friends decide the only cure is a trip to the seaside. They pack a tent, a hamper and a bucket and spade and set off along the winding lanes to the sandy cove below the cliffs. It's not long before everyone is enjoying the bracing sea breeze and the rolling green tide. Water Rat and Hare swim in the shallows, Squirrel makes a cockleshell hat and dances near the waves. All of a sudden, mischievous seagulls descend; they steal Hare's red coat and Water Rat's frills! W ill these naughty birds spoil the friends' special day out?

One fine bright day, Water Rat invites his friends to join him on his beloved little boat, the Saucy Nancy. He has planned a picturesque journey down the river and, afterwards, a sumptuous feast beneath the trees, with egg and cress sandwiches, marigold sponge and watermint jellies. But when some cackling ducks cause a commotion on the river, and Hare decides to man the boat, it looks like Water Rat's picnic mightn't be so perfect after all...
