The story of a mean and narcissistic king, originally written in the 1970s is both uproariously funny and distressingly on point, will be enjoyed by children and their parents.  

"Rabbits don't exist."

So decrees the new king, the Wolf of all Wolves, after conquering the rabbits' homeland. He refuses to allow even one small, fluffy tail or long, soft ear into his kingdom. He orders the birds to broadcast this message far and wide. And he summons the old monkey to photograph him in his royal finery, performing his royal deeds. But in his darkroom, the monkey sees something strange developing in the photos. Is that a floppy ear? Whose grinning bunny teeth are those? How could it be?

Ariel Dorfman's first children's book, The Rabbits' Rebellion, is a remarkable and mischievous allegory of truth and justice triumphing over political chicanery. Set in a magical animal kingdom and illustrated by the great Chris Riddell, this is a story that will have children roaring with laughter and parents raising an eyebrow with recognition.

Ariel Dorfman

Ariel Dorfman is an Argentine-Chilean novelist, playwright, essayist, and human rights activist.

From 1970 to 1973, Dorfman was part of the administration of president Salvador Allende. He was forced into exile following the bloody military coup of 1973 in which General Augusto Pinochet came to power.

Since 1985 he has taught at Duke University. Since the restoration (1990) of democracy in Chile, he divides his time between Santiago and the United States. Dorfman has written fiction often dealing with the horrors of tyranny and, in later works, the trials of exile including his most famous play, Death and the Maiden.

Dorfman, a critic of Pinochet, has written extensively about his extradition case for the Spanish newspaper El País and other publications.

Ariel Dorfman is the Walter Hines Page Research Professor of Literature and Professor of Latin American Studies at Duke University.
