Book Question

[Janet Rawdon <jrawdon@MASSED.NET>]

A friend of my son is looking for the title of a book she read as a child
possibly in the 60's or 70's.  Who else would I come to to ask for help?

She describes it as a story of a pair or a trio of young animlals who run
away from a bad situtation.  They are rabbits or some of them are.  They
take a boat down a river through a forest  where they live and gradually
become lost.  They leave the boat on the opposite bank and start walking
through the forest.  Everythng becomes misty and strange.  The light is
peculiar.  It's hushed; they meet no other animals and a sense of
displacement grows.  Finally they halt and one of them says " We are not
meant to be here yet. It is too soon."  They have accidentally crossed over
into the land of the dead.  They make their way back and return to the
other side of the river and home.

If someone out there recognizes the book from this description, please let
me know.  I haven't a clue.

Thanks.

Janet
