Little Sister Rabbit and the Fox

Little Sister Rabbit and the Fox

One morning, Little Sister Rabbit hops out of her burrow to play. She’s having fun rolling about and picking flowers, but something is not quite right. What is that odd smell? Is that the sound of a rumbling tummy? Could those be red eyes watching her?

It’s a hungry fox cub! Little Sister Rabbit is too scared to move. Rabbits aren’t meant to be brave.

Luckily, just before the fox eats her for his dinner, she realizes just what to do. What are rabbits best at? Running foxes ragged!

From the award-winning Swedish children’s author, Ulf Nilsson, and one of Europe’s best-loved illustrators, Eva Eriksson, comes this charmingly illustrated tale of bravery and trusting your instincts.

These classic Little Sister Rabbit stories are much-loved bestsellers in Sweden and can now be enjoyed by new generations in English. They are beautiful, hardback gift editions with a cloth spine.

Ulf Nilsson, a celebrated children’s writer in Sweden and a winner of the August and American Batchelder awards, was born in 1948 in Helsingborg. In 1992, Nilsson began biblical research at the University of Lund because he takes an interest in the subject and finds the Bible stories to be cornerstones of Western culture and moral concepts. Stories from the Bible are retold in many of his books, but in a new way. Together with illustrator Anna-Clara Tidholm, Ulf Nilsson won the most prestigious Swedish literary award 2002, the August Prize, for Goodbye, Mr. Muffin.
