[3] The books centre on the Bellflower family of rabbits, who live in Beechwood Grove: Papa Bramble, Aunt Zinnia, Dandelion, Periwinkle, Violette, Mistletoe, and Poppy.
Some of the Bellflowers' foes include Magda, a tricky magpie who tries to make Periwinkle a family embarrassment (in the first book, Periwinkle at the Full Moon Ball, and the TV episode "Room to Move"); Jimmy Renard, a cunning young boy from Violette's Daring Adventure; Kazoar, the highway menace from Aunt Zinnia and the Ogre, and two hungry & sneaky foxes named Roderick and Marmaduke from the episode "Carnival" who wanted to kidnap the children for their dinner.
In the United States, Gareth Stevens only published the first seven stories in English, from Periwinkle at the Full Moon Ball to Family Moving Day, in 1991 and 1992.
Elsewhere in Europe, the book series is called La Familia Pasaflor (Spain), A Família Passiflore (Portugal), La Famiglia Passiflora (Italy),[6] De Familie Passiebloem (Netherlands),[7] Familie Löwenzahn (Germany), Wesołe przygody królików (Poland), "Жили-были кролики" (Russia) [8] and Tappancsmesék (Hungary).
