I am sorry that it’s been so long since my last book review. I was singularly focused on trying to finish my latest book and then took a much-needed break. Anyway, I continued to read when I had the chance so I will have a few reviews up for you shortly. Today, I wanted to tell you about a great adventure story for all ages. The book is titled Following the Green Rabbit; a fantastical adventure by Chris Hall. The story is a wonderful tale of two sisters and their tutor who accidentally find themselves transported back in time to a small village that is being ruled by a tyrannical lord. The world in which the characters live takes place during the height of the second British Empire at the turn of the twentieth century and is so richly detailed, it was almost tangible. The characters in the book are very vivid and easily relatable. The author captured the curious nature of the children perfectly and it was refreshing to be able to experience their innocence. I won’t go into any more details, because I would not want to spoil your chance to experience the adventure through the eyes of a child. Instead of following the white rabbit down the rabbit hole, I would follow the green rabbit into the dense forest and lose myself in this adventure for a while.
