Summary

Magical, beguiling and distinctive: the story of the Battle of Waterloo (18 June 1815), as told by a rabbit.

The Sage of Waterloo Summary

The Sage of Waterloo: A Tale by Leona Francombe

The extraordinary debut of a classical pianist turned novelist, The Sage of Waterloo is a playful retelling of a key turning point in human history-and a slyly profound reflection on our place in the world. William, a rabbit living on the site of the Battle of Waterloo, attunes himself to the echoes and ghosts of the battle and comes to recognise how deeply what happened on 18 June 1815 continues to reverberate.

The Sage of Waterloo Reviews

Gentle and poetic, [The Sage of Waterloo] is an eloquent reflection on the nature and cost of war...Everything in this little book is perfect. -- David Kaymer - Library Journal (starred review) Engaging, pleasantly written, and endlessly inventive: all promising signs and a reader's delight. -- Kirkus Reviews Written by a concert pianist who abides in Europe, about the Battle of Waterloo seen through the eyes of an erudite bunny...The Sage of Waterloo [is] dignified and poignant, as well as sad, with a gentle humor befitting gentle lagomorphs. -- Lydia Millet - BookPage
