The Rabbits
The adventures of a group of friends, pre-war, with far too much time on their hands.
Pre-war halcyon days captured in a series of comic sketches, The Rabbits offers the purest of escapism – possibly A. A. Milne’s most distinctive work

Description
The Rabbits, as they call themselves, are Archie Mannering, his sister Myra, Samuel Simpson, Thomas of the Admiralty, Dahlia Blair, and the narrator, with occasional guests. Their conversation is almost entirely frivolous, their activity vacillates between immensely energetic and happily lazy, and their social mores are surprisingly progressive.
Originally published as sketches in Punch, the Rabbits' escapades are a charming portrait of middle-class antics on the brink of being shattered by World War I, and fail entirely to take themselves seriously.
So here they all are. Whatever their crimes, they assure you that they won't do it again - A. A. Milne

About the Author
Alan Alexander Milne (1882-1956) was born in London. He was a regular contributor to Punch, and later, assistant editor, before the interruption of active service in the First World War. A remarkably versatile writer, Milne went on to become a hugely successful and widely-known playwright, both in the West End and on Broadway, as well as an essayist, poet, novelist and - most famously - children's author, as the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh.
