BOOKSHOP.ORG NATURAL HISTORY GIFT BOOK 2024 'A beautiful book' - ANGELINA JOLIE 'A
glorious book - for its warmth its precision its joy' - KATHERINE RUNDELL 'I will be
recommending this to everyone' - MATT HAIG __ Imagine you could hold a baby hare and
bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night
drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that over two years later
it still ran in from the fields when you called it and snoozed in your house for hours on end.
This happened to me. When lockdown led busy professional Chloe to leave the city and return
to the countryside of her childhood she never expected to find herself custodian of a newly
born hare. Yet when she finds the creature endangered alone and no bigger than her palm she
is compelled to give it a chance at survival. Raising Hare chronicles their journey together
and the challenges of caring for the leveret and preparing for its return to the wild. We
witness an extraordinary relationship between human and animal rekindling our sense of awe
towards nature and wildlife. This improbable bond of trust serves to remind us that the most
remarkable experiences inspiring the most hope often arise when we least expect them.
