Hassan's Zoo: and A Village In Winter | Ruth Brandt
2 posts | 1 read
Hassan’s Zoo
When American soldiers invade Iraq searching for weapons of mass destruction, Kesari the Bengal tiger and other wildlife are at the mercy of guns and keeper, Hassan.
Entrenched in perpetual fear, Hassan must exercise Godly powers over his creatures in his attempts to save them - and himself.
A Village in Winter
“Mrs Gregory said to leave Frizz and his mum be for a while. Stop pestering. That poor woman with that lad.”
In the chill of winter, the villagers play by the river, their play as harsh as the ice.

These stories pack quite a punch. Hassan's Zoo is a powerful, vivid description of the brutality of war, and A Village In Winter is an unsettling portrait of a village community and how children can be cruel and naive.
