The first book in the series follows the adventures of Podkin, his sister Paz and their baby brother Pook. Nije ovo još jedna priča o junaku koji se nagledao i zasitio nevolja koje su zadesile njegov svijet; nije u pitanju nekim proročanstvom obećan junak koji će donijeti mir pet kraljevstava... zapravo, je li ovo uopće priča o junaku? I'm upset about the twist of the bards identity as I didn't guess it and was actually surprised. Almost like a last ditch effort to leave my brain thinking this was a good book. My son discovered Podkin One-Ear earlier this year. He received the first two as present and we bought him the third almost instantly when he started reading. This is one of the first books he read that didn't have too many drawings and also where there was death of characters and where he actually kept reading at a rather fast pace. He also cannot stop talking about it (he's reading book 5 at the moment and spoiling too many things, but I love it when he's so enthusiastic about books so I just let him and try to forget :P). This is the alphabet that the rabbits of Gotland and Enderby use. Can you write a message in ogham? Get someone to write you one and see if you can decode it.The story is about Podkin, the son of a tribal chief, who, with his older sister and young brother, flees from his castle as the bad Goroms invade. The Goroms kill his father and imprison his people, like they do with every rabbit borrow they invade. There are no people in this story, only rabbits who behave very humanly. Podkin, who has two ears at the beginning of the story, changes from a lazy young rabbit who cannot even be disturbed to want to learn to read and write into a brave warrior who takes a stand for his family. Podkinova priča pustolovna je, dirljiva i predivno napisana avantura koja će osvojiti baš svakog čitatelja, bez obzira na dob. Njeni srčani i dragi likovi postat će prijatelji od kojih se nećete htjeti rastati, i čije ćete nevolje pratiti sa zebnjom u srcu, a pobjede pozdravljati s iskrenim veseljem. Uki’s tale continues! Along with his friends, Jori, Kree and Mooka, Uki must venture into the mysterious Fenlands to capture Charice– the spirit of plagues and diseases– before she can spread her poison everywhere.

Most of my favourite children’s books feature animals with human traits ‘Watership Down’ ‘Mrs Frisby and the rats of NIMH’. Podkin’s world has been taken over by a race of evil iron-covered rabbits called the Gorm. When they come to his warren one Bramblemas Eve, he finds himself running for his life and fighting to survive.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Divno bi bilo sjesti uz vatru i upijati riječi kojima mudri bard pripovijeda legendu o Podkinu Jednouhom, baš kao što su tu čast imali radoznali i puni pitanja mladi zečevi. Kieran Larwood svojim pisanjem stvorio je tu intimnu i opojnu atmosferu, kao da slušamo barda, koja bi bila postojana duž cijelog romana, da oni isti maleni zečevi mjestimično nisu bili iznimno naporni s hrpetinom podpitanja.
