This book combines the adventure and playful nature of The Wind in the Willows with the more serious societal themes of Watership Down. Add in an element of mystery and that could easily become too much to follow. Lloyd handles it well. We have a complex society of different kinds of dogs. There is no big info dump, just a slow meting out of information as it is necessary for the plot. The art is a bit rustic but it works well with this plot.
