While recovering from a long illness, Peter makes friends with Len, a disabled rabbit keeper. When Len gives him a rabbit he got from a circus, Peter soon finds out it possesses magical qualities and is named Thisbe.
Len encourages Peter to show Thisbe, sending her off to competitions all over the country, with increasing success. However, with the outbreak of myxomatosis, a disease that's fatal for rabbits, the shows stop.
When the disease has passed, the shows restart but Peter suffers a terrible loss when Thisbe is sent to compete again. However, it's not until he is taken to a circus at Christmas, that the mystery of Thisbe is explained.

About the author










Richard Brown was born in 1943 the second of four children of a farming family in the west of the old rural county of Huntingdonshire. After education at Kimbolton School, he graduated with a degree in Agriculture from Wye College, London University, in 1966. Within a few years of returning from university he was running the farm, a job he did until retirement, which then gave more time for other pursuits.

He started writing at the age of 65 and, after producing several versions of a semi-autobiographical work, commenced Mary Knighton in November 2009. On completion of this epic story he returned to the semi-autobiographical theme and has produced a quartet of shorter pieces; Thisbie, Long Stop, Postman's Knock and Feeding the Pigs. Of these Thisbie and Postman's Knock are complete but the other two are work in progress. They all have a rural theme as in Mary Knighton.
