On the high moor of Dartmoor, at a rabbit warren run by the shrewd Elias, family loyalties and courtships tangle among brothers, sisters and neighbours. The warrener’s daughter Dorcas, a match with Mr. Screech, a household of dogs and a quarrel that spreads through Dennycoombe Wood and the Corner House drive a long rural novel full of moorland weather and dialect.
