Raising Hare

A great and important tale for our times -- MICHAEL MORPURGO This is more than a wildlife memoir, it's a philosophical masterpiece -- CLARE BALDING This book is exceptional. A simply wonderful story, profoundly beautiful -- CHRIS PACKHAM A glorious book - for its warmth, its precision, its joy. It's not dreamy or romantic about the natural world - it's something far better than that -- KATHERINE RUNDELL A fascinating meditation on nature, friendship, renewal and love [ . . . ] awakening in us a sense of wonder. It helps us pay attention to the world around us, and, in doing so, rediscover ourselves -- ELIF SHAFAK This is a book of sheer joy and goodness in our times often marked by dark and troubling events. It transports you to a world of long-lost innocence and makes you want to hug the world * * Financial Times, 'Best Books of 2024' * * A nourishing nature memoir at its finest * * Sunday Times, 'Books of the Year' * * Raising Hare is a tale of hope, channelled through the enduring and improbable bond between a human and a wild animal.
