Description

<p><span><span>Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.</span></span></p>

Story Behind The Book

LOOSE RABBITS allows the reader to learn more about the fantastic characters of the Rabbit Trilogy. As one reader puts it, "Sometimes a writer has to cut material from a book because either the book is too long or because going into detail would take away from the story. New novelist Ellen C. Maze has come across both of these scenarios in writing her novels Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider, and Rabbit: Legacy. Not wanting to leave her characters bare, Maze continues to dress her characters in detail and in different circumstances to give these characters more depth in her newest book Loose Rabbits Of the Rabbit Trilogy. It is a wonderful companion piece to give window to the why or how her characters developed in her first two books. Loose Rabbits is a breezy, fun read."

Made me pull Rabbit out to re-read it before I dive into the upcoming Rabbit Legacy! I have a &quot;silly&quot; favorite but I feel I'd give something away. You should read it. It is SO worth the short time it takes to take in the &quot;Loose Rabbits&quot;. Great job Ellen&quot;<br /><br />Reader Kevin says: &quot;This short story collection is a little different from most anthologies: They are all somehow related to the two novels &quot;Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider&quot; and &quot;Rabbit: Legacy&quot;. Each story stands on its own, but contain backstories and sidestories featuring characters or situations from the two &quot;Rabbit&quot; novels. Think of a DVD that included deleted scenes or even behind-the-scenes info on how characters develop and you get an idea of what you'll find in &quot;Loose Rabbits.&quot; We may be used to these features on DVDs, but it's not often you find them in book form. So if you already own &quot;Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider&quot; and/or &quot;Rabbit: Legacy,&quot; consider this book as completing them, maybe &quot;Rabbit: The Deluxe Edition.&quot; (I understand there's eventually going to be a third Rabbit novel so maybe it'd be &quot;Rabbit 2.5&quot;) Anyway, &quot;Rabbit&quot; fans (referred to as &quot;Rabbit Chasers&quot;) definitely will not be disappointed. These Loose Rabbits need to be grabbed today. Let the chase begin!&quot;
