Ræchel Togden

Written by a child author, Ræchel Togden, for other children and child-at-heart adults, The Legendary Rabbit of Death begins with the story of how Hazel Ten-Rabbits becomes the 'Rabbit of Death' and how Ræchel comes to write her book. I enjoyed the introductory story, and the descriptions of Ræchel's process and artwork. The reason I ding this book one star, is because this wonderful sounding artwork is left to the imagination of the reader, as it is lacking in the paperback copy available in the USA. I long to see Ræchel's rabbits in all their glory and color going about their adventures! What isn't lacking is humor, ponderously long pseudonyms, a love of alliteration, various animals, and their quests, challenges and adventures ready to be enjoyed by readers. Looking forward to volume two, and Ræchel's long artistic career. --Jennifer K., 4.4999 stars.… (mehr)
