5.0 out of 5 stars The Quiet Magic of Friendships, Forebearance, and Sharing
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2013
Hare and Squirrel wait eagerly for Little Grey Rabbit to return from the Christmas market. Mrs Hedgehog and her young son, passing by in the deep snow, have seen her, but as the night grows darker, her friends are still looking down the lane until they hear sleigh bells and.....

"Little Grey Rabbit's Christmas" is pure enchantment. It tells an old, yet ever-new story of friendship, of homely pleasures at Christmas-tide as holly branches brighten the small cottage at the end of the lane, the three friends welcome field mouse and hedgehog carolers, stockings knobby with carefully-chosen gifts are opened together, and the animals gather at a bright tree Moldy-Warp has prepared. A lost treasure is found and in the starlight, Hare brings them home, sleepy and content.

The place is England, the beautifully drawn pictures show customs of the 18th century, and the small creatures are rendered with accuracy and individuality. Little Grey Rabbit is the loving center of the family, Hare is an impetuous but kindly fellow, and Squirrel a busy little soul, who can be a wee bit short-tempered.

Margaret Uttley writes in a gentle cadence that is a pleasure to read aloud, as I have for many years. The book is produced with attention to color, to paper quality, and a strong binding. The story lasts in children's minds and this legacy book lasts and lasts with reasonable care. The edition I am reviewing has the snow falling and the picture of sledding on the grey cover.

Any negatives? None. This is a small and perfect treasure. Think "Away in a Manger," more than "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" for this is a tale of field and hedgerows, and the quiet magic of friendships, forebearance, and sharing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Charming, if neglected, publication!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2016

Very charming book, perfect for our Christmas book collection and no doubt we'll read it year after year. The story is very sweet, a little pedestrian but it's easier to forgive the obvious at Christmas and just enjoy the sentimentality and quaintness of it all! Very sad to read another review on here that said the story had been changed - that would definitely account for it feeling a little disjointed. Think I'll look out for one of the original editions!

The one real drawback is that I was a quite disappointed in the quality of the images printed inside. They look a little blurrier than you'd expect (definitely a printing issue rather than an issue with the original paintings). It just feels like the publishers couldn't be bothered to get it right, which is a real shame as ultimately this is a very darling little book.

Little Grey Rabbit books are charming - simple, easily understood stories with beautiful illustrations. In our family we read them as children and we are now introducing these books to our grandchildren. The 2 year old for whom I bought this book loves it and takes it to bed with her to look at the last happy picture before sleeping.

I bought this as a Christmas Gift for my Mum, who had recently fondly recalled the book. Needless to say, I just had to read it first before wrapping it up. Mum loved it. It's beautifully interested and an easy and entertaining read. Good for any age!
