From the sunburnt heart of Australian storytelling comes Mad as Rabbits, a charming and spirited tale by Elizabeth Lane that captures the peculiar, irrepressible energy of life lived just a little sideways. With illustrations by Paul Rigby breathing whimsy and warmth into every page, the story chronicles characters whose eccentricities are not flaws but badges of honour, painting a vivid portrait of a world where the unconventional is celebrated and the ordinary is cheerfully upended. Published by the distinguished Adelaide house Rigby Limited, this work sits proudly within a tradition of Australian children's literature that values wit, heart, and a distinctly antipodean irreverence. Lane's prose is light-footed yet purposeful, instructing young readers in the quiet art of embracing the absurd, while Rigby's illustrations amplify the comic spirit with sharp, joyful detail. A book that rewards not just its youngest readers but anyone who has ever suspected that being mad as rabbits might be the finest compliment of all.
