THE ROYAL RABBITS OF LONDON

Narrator Mike Grady's deep, gentle British voice welcomes listeners to a tale that spans British history from the time of King Arthur to the present. When Shylo Tawny-Tail, the runt of a rabbit litter, uncovers a plot to compromise the Queen, he decides to thwart the scheme. His ancient and outcast rabbit friend, Horatio, blesses him as he embarks on his journey to the headquarters of the Royal Rabbits of London. Grady captures the story's intense action with a pace that keeps the listener moving forward. His character voices are varied--innocent, honest, and undeterred as Shylo, wistful and wise as Horatio, and commanding as Nelson, of the Royal Rabbits. Lesser characters, a French-speaking rabbit, a drawling American rabbit, and a gangster-like trio of rats, are guaranteed to generate smiles. Listeners of all ages will be delighted. A.R.
