Fawn Rabbit Family

Father Herbage Dappledawn loves going for long walks in what he calls "The Great Outdoors". His family call him "Big Foo" because he takes such big strides that the children almost have to run in order to keep up with him!

Mother Theodora Dappeldawn has a passion for anything old. Her favourite pastime is visiting stately homes and historic monuments. She says that they "bring history to life". The children have a great time because whenever the family visit such places, she makes up brilliant stories about the people who lived there. But her stories always have a happy ending so that her children don't have nightmares.

Brother Radish Dappledawn loves running around castles pretending he is a gallant knight rescuing fair maidens and challenging evil barons to duels. He also enjoys orienteering with his friends, where they have to get from one place to another as quickly as possible with the help of a map and a compass.

Sister Tilly Dappledawn is a very quiet little girl who happily spends hours and hours birdwatching. She knows all the birds' names, where they come from and what they eat. She can even recognise birds with her eyes shut - simply by listening to their different songs!
