Brave New World4 viewsFor the first time, Little Ashley looks out of his burrow into the great Charleston garden of the Great House. The garden is inhabited by the Cooper-Legree clan of rabbits in their separate burrows, but with one great heart of love for each other. Here it is still beautiful, fragrant and safe. But it is shortly before the Civil War.

A Hard Row To Hoe5 viewsTo win favor with the people of the Great House, the Legrees start by raising food to store in the cellar so they can survive the Siege of Charleston. Ashley starts out fine, but soon becomes a tyrant. All turn against him and then against each other (until Ashley's mother tells him he is letting his authority go to his silly head). He returns to work new and improved and the work continues on schedule.

Between A Rock And A Hard Place5 viewsAshley knew that Long Eared Zingle (and the other Barkin Bugger-Legrees) might eat up the food in the cellar. But Ashley (always loyal to a friend) did not report this to the Rare Rabbit Assembly so that they could post a guard at the cellar door. Now a Rabbit Civil War has started over this matter. Ashley feels ashamed, but is afraid to admit what he has done. Also he feels betrayed by Zingle (whom he had tried to protect).

The Great Fountain Debate4 viewsWill the Legrees take vengeance on the people of the Great House for the killing of Ashley's dad (Ashley's side), or will they try to make friends with the people so they will not harm rabbits any longer (Old Bunny Hopkin's side)? Ashley is the most stubborn of all rabbits, but finally sees the value of forgiveness and renewal. It is at this point that Ashley starts to become a Hare Raiser (who raises the hares to right action in a crisis) instead of a selfish, boastful Hare Honker.

Back Fence8 viewsFinally Ashley's dad (Pekin Paw) leads Long-Eared Zingle and the Barkin Bugger-Legrees to the Back Fence District (garbage dump of Charleston) as their new home. It is exactly their sort of place as they can be as lazy and filthy there as they wish without criticism. Now they will eat from the garbage cans when they cannot find sufficient food growing wild in the field behind it and can smoke the rabbit tobacco that grows in it as well.
