Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation - including this special 30th anniversary edition of Harriet's Hare.
Hares don't talk. Everyone knows that. But the hare Harriet meets in a corn circle on Longhanger Farm is a very unusual hare.
'He's a wizard, that's what he is. 'Wiz,' she said.'
Wiz is a Partian, native to the distant planet Pars, and not only can he talk, he can speak any language, change into any shape, and even dance! Harriet and Wiz spend the summer galloping around the Farm together, but as his holiday on Earth comes to an end . . .
Will Wiz want to go home?
