Sensible Hare and the case of the carrots
Daren King
- Reading
- Try reading a short section at a time, then pause to name the clues and the odd details separately. This can keep the puzzle in view without setting aside the humour.
- Themes
- Detective work and comic confusion: Sensible Hare investigates missing carrots with help from Ottoman, while surreal comic details accumulate around the case. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Sensible Hare’s persona: Sensible Hare is presented as a detective with a tough-hare persona who does not always act sensibly, particularly around Mazy Rabbit. The contrast is used for comedy; whether the story makes a broader point about self-image or affection is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The plot may be confusing.
