- More about The Rabbits
The Rabbits are a group of friends who have too much time on their hands before World War I, and their adventures are a charming portrait of middle-class antics. They are not serious and their social mores are surprisingly progressive.
Format: Paperback / softback

Publisher: Duckworth Books
The Rabbits, a group of friends, lived in pre-war times with an abundance of free time on their hands. Comprising Archie Mannering, his sister Myra, Samuel Simpson, Thomas of the Admiralty, Dahlia Blair, and the narrator, they occasionally welcomed occasional guests into their circle. Their conversations, mostly light-hearted and frivolous, swung between incredibly energetic and blissfully lazy moments. What was most surprising was their progressive social attitudes, which defied expectations for their time.
Originally published as sketches in Punch, the Rabbits' escapades offer a captivating portrayal of middle-class antics on the cusp of being disrupted by World War I. Despite their occasional misdeeds, they assure the reader that such actions will not be repeated – a humorous disclaimer from author A. A. Milne.
The group's adventures are a testament to their zest for life and their refusal to take themselves too seriously. From lively parties to leisurely afternoons spent in the countryside, they revel in the joys of companionship and the simple pleasures of existence. Their stories are filled with humor, mischief, and moments of genuine camaraderie, making them a delightful read for anyone who enjoys a good laugh and a glimpse into the social dynamics of a bygone era.
