This story is a bit of Watershipdown mixed with Lord of The Rings, and then for children of about 10 years old. An adventurous, imaginative story full of humor, warmth and loss. I brought this book out of the library for my daughter. A gamble. But she loved it. So much that she made me read it. And so I did. I'm upset about the twist of the bards identity as I didn't guess it and was actually surprised. Almost like a last ditch effort to leave my brain thinking this was a good book. Legenda o Podkinu Jednouhom savršeno je štivo za male, ali i velike čitatelje koji su željni povratka u djetinjstvo, osjećaja očaranosti boravkom u jednom od divnih svjetova koje je Larwood ovom prilikom stvorio. Ova divno osmišljena i ispričana priča o vječitoj borbi dobra i zla – koja kao da pripada bardu koji je ispričao onoj mladoj znatiželjnoj skupini – izvrstan je materijal za raspirivanje mašte, buđenje i održavanje ljubavi prema čitanju i pričama, buđenje želje za otkrivanjem nečeg novog, ali naposljetku i poučna priča s lekcijama skrivenim između redaka. This is the alphabet that the rabbits of Gotland and Enderby use. Can you write a message in ogham? Get someone to write you one and see if you can decode it. Dit verhaal houdt ergens het midden tussen Watershipdown en Lord of The Rings, en dan voor kinderen van een jaar of 10. Een avontuurlijk, fantasierijk verhaal vol humor, warmte en verlies. Dit boek heb ik blind uit de bibliotheek meegenomen voor mijn dochter. Een gokje. Maar ze vond het geweldig. Zo geweldig dat ik het van haar absoluut moest lezen. En dat heb ik dus gedaan.
When a travelling bard arrives at Thornwood Warren on Midwinter night, he is warmly welcomed. In return for food and lodging, he settles down to tell the tale of Podkin One-Ear - and soon the rabbits are enthralled to hear the story of how one lost little rabbit overcame the cruellest enemy imaginable, and became the greatest warrior their land has ever known.

They featured Podkin in a special episode, which you can listen to here. Podkin, the so called hero of this story -SIGH- mans not hot. I'm assuming Kieran thought he was creating an anti-hero type of character. But it fell so unbelievably flat. Podkin is lazy, with no sense of responsibility, and he's constantly spoiled. What's worse is that several characters call out Podkin's bratty attitude, seeming to say that Kieran knows what he's done with his character but instead of treating Podkin like the useless kid he is they constantly believe HE is the hero. For no other reason that I can see other than he's male. My girl Paz out here, ready to be chief. She's got weapons skills, leadership skills and a clever head on her shoulders. But this boy out here doing her dirty by calling her bossy and saying she's a sly ass show off, like nah. And then, pouring salt in the wounds - makes her nothing more than a damsel in distress for most of the book.
Podkin kojeg upoznajemo na početku lijeni je zaigrani zečić koji malo mari za upravljanje zečinjakom kojeg bi trebao naslijediti. No, nakon bijega od Gvozdenih, Podkin će se promijeniti. Upadajući u razne nevolje, brinući za sestru Pazu i brata Pooka, upoznajući nove neprijatelje, ali stječući i pokojeg saveznika, Podkin će naučiti biti hrabar, nesebičan i neustrašiv - početak legendarnog ratnika koji tek ima postati. A negdje u tome svemu, otkrit će se i kako je i zašto postao Jednouhi. ;) Ono što ovoj priči daje dodatnu čaroliju predivne su ilustracije, a za lakše snalaženje unutar Pet kraljevstava, tu je i divno oslikana mapa. Pohvale i za prijevode naziva zečinjaka i drugih mjesta unutar Pet kraljevstava, koji su mi zvučali osobito toplo i simpatično, te pamtljivo, baš kao u onim najboljim pričama. Borba ili povijest, nije bilo bitno, Podkin je jednostavno volio – drijemati. Kakve koristi od svega toga kada obitavaš u sigurnosti svoga zečinjaka, pod okriljem svog moćnog oca i poglavice? Usred svog drijemanja Podkin nikako nije mogao znati da je i njegov zečinjak na meti Gvozdenih koji su na putu uništenja jedne davno i teškom mukom uspostavljene ravnoteže sile i moći. Podkin’s world has been taken over by a race of evil iron-covered rabbits called the Gorm. When they come to his warren one Bramblemas Eve, he finds himself running for his life and fighting to survive.The story itself seemed really empty. Lots of travelling and meeting people and setting up. And only the second to last chapter held a 'battle' scene, which was glossed over, very short and seemed to suffer a helluva lot from tunnel vision. Felt weirdly like secondbookitis, but in the first book? When the bard is suggesting some stories to the children, he mentions the tales of Beobunny and The Fisher Rabbit. What do you think they might have been about? Could you write your own version? Nije ovo još jedna priča o junaku koji se nagledao i zasitio nevolja koje su zadesile njegov svijet; nije u pitanju nekim proročanstvom obećan junak koji će donijeti mir pet kraljevstava... zapravo, je li ovo uopće priča o junaku? Uki’s tale continues! Along with his friends, Jori, Kree and Mooka, Uki must venture into the mysterious Fenlands to capture Charice– the spirit of plagues and diseases– before she can spread her poison everywhere.

Podkinova priča pustolovna je, dirljiva i predivno napisana avantura koja će osvojiti baš svakog čitatelja, bez obzira na dob. Njeni srčani i dragi likovi postat će prijatelji od kojih se nećete htjeti rastati, i čije ćete nevolje pratiti sa zebnjom u srcu, a pobjede pozdravljati s iskrenim veseljem. Surprisingly, the thing I like most about this book is actually the way it’s told. It’s told by a travelling bard like in the good old days, someone who goes from village to village to tell his stories. It’s such a small, insignificant and seemingly unimportant detail but it definitely elevates the experience as a whole for me. It gives this story such coziness and warmth, like you’re not reading a book but rather being told a bedtime story by a cozy campfire under a star filled sky. And I love it when a story has the ability to make you forget that you’re reading a book. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments When Podkin, Pook and Paz escape from Munbury warren at the beginning of The Legend of Podkin One-Ear, the bard says ‘That terrible night will only be remembered by those poor little rabbits, and they will never speak of it again.’ What do you think happened? Could you write an extra chapter about their escape from the Gorm and their night in the frozen woods?

All the secondary characters were really bland, given maybe a few chapters of exposition explaining more about their soon to be dues ex machina skill sets than there actual personalities (which were non existent anyways so bleh.) After capturing Charice, there is only one spirit left for Uki to find: Mortix, the most dangerous of all. With his friends Jori, Cole and Kree, Uki heads to Eisenfell – the greatest city in Hulstland – only to find that Mortix has taken control of Emperor Ash and is plotting to conquer the whole Five Realms with her terrifying army. I found the book to be fairly fast-paced, atmospheric and poignant in scenes. I do especially like Podkin, and his character. Although, I feel like there wasn't much depth to his character and the reader would enjoy hearing more about him and his past. The theme is incredibly dark in parts, which made the story rather creepy. I loved this element though. Podkin Jednouhi legendarni je neustrašivi zec o čijim junaštvima i podvizima priče kruže i zdušno se prepričavaju u svih Pet kraljevstava.
Great Deal
