About the stories
The introduction states that the first five stories, about El-ahrairah, are "traditional stories, which all rabbits know" (an exaggeration, as not all the rabbit characters are familiar with the stories). "The Rabbit's Ghost Story" is told by Coltsfoot, a rabbit from Efrafa. "Speedwell's Story" is a nonsense story.

Part II contains four more stories about "El-ahrairah and his stalwart, Rabscuttle", and Part III "further tales of Hazel and his rabbits, which took place during the winter, spring and early summer following the defeat of General Woundwort." The stories in Part III are closely connected, each following directly from the previous one.
