This review is from: Rabbits Everywhere (Hardcover)

For rabbit lovers and collectors of rabbit related items, this is a great little book. It pictures a wide variety of art pieces based on rabbit lore and just plain bunny cuteness.

A few of the more graphic hunting type pictures could have been left out, but otherwise it is a good book for browsing. Just don't let your rabbits get a hold of it, for it is very chewable.

This review is from: Rabbits Everywhere (Hardcover)

Rabbits Everywhere by Alicia Ezpeleta is a great book about rabbits in general, not just the Easter variety. It discusses many of the folklore and traditions about rabbits around the world, some expected, some not. I bought the original edition when it was released--that cover is much less precious than the white bunnies on the cover version. To date, it is the best book about rabbits in world history that I have found. It is a coffee table book more than academic text, but the inside is not twee. Instead it is informational and beautiful with many wonderful images. Rabbits have an unexpected breadth of history and meaning.

And because the full publisher's description is not listed on this Amazon page, here it is: "At once clever and foolish, brave and cowardly, cute and frightening, chaste and sexual, rabbits have represented almost every strength -- and weakness -- known to humankind. Rabbits Everywhere gathers some of the most cuddly, speedy, procreative, and ferocious rabbits ever seen. Alicia Ezpeleta explores the surprisingly complex lore and mystique surrounding rabbits, placing the animals in cultural, artistic, and popular context. The illustrations bring to life all the great hares of history: the Easter Bunny, the March Hare, Br'er Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, Roger Rabbit, and Harvey, to name but a few. Rabbits are also pictured in Egyptian hieroglyphs and medieval tapestries, on Roman coins and Art Deco posters, in fine jewelry and contemporary paintings -- and on carousels, all sorts of toys, and in classic children's books."
