THE PERFECT GIFT FOR NATURE LOVERS 'To see a hare sit still as
stone, to watch a hare boxing on a frosty March morning, to witness
a hare bolt . . . these are great things. Every field should have a
hare.' The hare, a night creature and country-dweller, is a rare
sight for most people. We know them only from legends and stories.
They are shape-shifters, witches' familiars and symbols of
fertility. They are arrogant, as in Aesop's The Hare and the
Tortoise, and absurd, as in Lewis Carroll's Mad March Hare. In the
absence of observed facts, speculation and fantasy have flourished.
But real hares? What are they like? In The Private Life of the
Hare, John Lewis-Stempel explores myths, history and the reality of
the hare. And in vivid, elegant prose he celebrates how, in an age
when television cameras have revealed so much in our landscape, the
hare remains as elusive and magical as ever.
