The Leaping Hare

The Leaping Hare is a rare and remarkable book about every aspect of the life and legend of the wild hare, exploring nature, poetry, folklore, history and art. A frequent feature in the mythology of many cultures, the hare has been linked with mystery and witchcraft throughout civilisation, and still today retains an air of enchantment. 'A lovely book that is both exploratory and rooted in a sense of the hare's mystery..' Seamus Heaney
