The Tales of Meadowbrook Hollow: Grandfather Rabbit's Scheme:

by E. W. Rhodes, Bryony Van Der Merwe (Editor), S. B. Christian

Overview

The Tales of Meadowbrook Hollow, Grandfather Rabbit's Scheme by E.W. Rhodes is noted to be
written in the classic style – several editors commenting that it is reminiscent of some of Beatrix
Potter's works.

Rhodes' timeless tale is carried to another level through Anastasia Khmelevska's illustrative efforts
as she colorfully captures the fast-paced journey through one of Meadowbrook Hollow's heart-felt
life lessons.

This is a story of Alex Ponders, a kind-hearted young rabbit who befriends Myra, an older hen who
saves his life. Learning that Myra, too faces a troublesome challenge, Alex frantically searches for
a solution. It is his wise grandfather that develops a scheme that not only resolves a dilemma at
Meadowbrook Hollow, but reshapes a Spring-Time Celebration for many world-wide.

About the Author

E.W. Rhodes grew up in a small Northeastern town that is nestled between two mountain ranges.
This setting provided him with a natural playground comprised of lakes, woodlands, rolling meadows,
and anabundance of wildlife.

Besides nature's influence, Rhodes also enjoyed travels that led throughout the U.S. and Europe,
leading him to understand that all animal life (including humans) share similarities that are often
ignored, yet equally allows for uniqueness.

He brings this notion into his artistically illustrated children's books. Rhodes still lives in the Northeast,
where he enjoys the wonders of nature and interactions with humankind that often find their way in
some form within his children's books.
