“A series of surprises,” in the immortal words of Emerson, is how Kingsley Reed Jeffery describes his writings, which have the tendency to take you off the beaten path and into a Technicolor dream world. But not only will you be surprised with his alternative take of a mischievous little bunny, you will be howling out loud at his cleverly written tale of droll humor and the insanely satirical and good-natured characters of Peter and company. 

Jeffery gives his “neo-classical” version of everyone’s favorite ancient Roman lagomorph, Peterus rabbittus. Complete with social commentary on the Romans, (which the author deems essential to the book’s structure) this children’s tale takes on a zany twist as Peter, Boo Bear, and the slightly crazed Mr. MacGregor are presented to you once again for the first time in original Latin form.
