![]() ![]() ![]() I then wondered if it would have some significance in the final scenes of the book. No one is searching for a rabbit with one ear. I then wondered if it would 'mark' him in some fashion, make him easier for the Gorm to find. Pretty unlucky but of no other importance. He loses it very early on, trapped under a portcullis fleeing a warren. The story is entitled 'Podkin One Ear' so I sort of assumed that the loss of his ear would be of some significance in the story. I enjoyed the story very much but did find a number of aspects rather odd (spoilers imminent!). ![]() ![]() As they flee, Pod, Paz and Pook find friends and foes as they try to keep one step ahead of the Gorm. The Gorm are tracking Podkin as he has a fabled dagger that can cut anything other than iron. Atmospheric and engaging as the bard trudges through the snow to the burrow. We cut from the tale every now and then to remind us of how the story is being told and for the bard to field questions from the young rabbits. The story is told by a wandering bard on Bramblemass Eve to a clutch of entranced young rabbits. The story follows the struggles of Podkin (a rabbit), his sister Paz and baby brother Pook as they flee into the snowy woods after the evil Gorm - mentally twisted, blood-thirsty, iron-clad rabbits - have overrun their warren and killed their father, the chief. I had been looking forward to this book all year having pre-ordered it on Amazon what seems like ages ago. ![]()
