Just Done Productions – Publishing would like to announce the publication of

Little Hare Lost - Robin Lamplough

 

 

Little Hare Lost by Robin Lamplough (Fiction/Children)            R60

36 pages + b/w illustrations

 

This little story first saw the light of day in the pages of the old Bulawayo Chronicle fifty years ago. It is the fruit of a boyhood spent in rural Matabeleland in an era when life appeared to be less complicated than it is today. Now the delightful illustrations by Andrew Bromley-Gans have added another dimension to this tale, which still has something to say about facing difficulties and not allowing them the upper hand.  

The book describes the adventures of uMvundla, the little scrub hare, whose youthful inexperience and taste for exploration lead him into a variety of exciting and sometimes dangerous, scrapes. In the course of his little odyssey, uMvundla encounters many other creatures who share his world, some friendly but others decidedly threatening. In the process of recounting uMvundla’s experiences, the story portrays an environment now beyond the reach of so many children who live in the confines of the city. 

 

Comments from young readers

Stephanie:[Grade 4] Age: 9 years

I enjoyed the book because it was so exciting. I loved the sketch sort of style for the pictures.

My favourite character was Mvundla, because he thought about what his mother said. What I liked most about the book was the suspense.

 

Luke: [Grade 5] Age 11 years

I enjoyed the book because it taught me a lesson: to think about others and be grateful for what I have.

 

Gillean: [Grade 6] Age 12 years

I enjoyed it because it was so exciting I could not put it down! The pictures illustrated the story very well.

My favourite character was iNgede because he was so helpful and kind. The characters were all well-defined and had different personalities.

Even though I liked the book, I think it would work better for younger readers than my age.
