Raising Hare

‘I savoured every carefully chosen and perfectly polished word and I cared so deeply about Hare that I found myself holding my breath … This is more than a wildlife memoir, it’s a philosophical masterpiece ruminating on our place as human beings in nature’ - CLARE BALDING‘Raising Hare is an astounding achievement. Not since I read Salar the Salmon by Henry Williamson have I witnessed such insight into a creature of the wild. This is a great and important tale for our times, for all of us, in the same league as Ted Hughes, Alice Oswald, Thomas Hardy and indeed Henry Williamson himself. I am so pleased Chloe Dalton told us about raising hare. I will not forget it and nor will anyone who reads it’ - MICHAEL MORPURGO‘This book is exceptional. It made me smile out loud, such a magical tale of a world turned upside down by a fragile wild thing - a leveret lost, a life found. A simply wonderful story, profoundly beautiful’ - CHRIS PACKHAM‘A beautiful book that makes you think profoundly about how we so often tune out the natural world around us. Chloe Dalton is a tender, curious, wise, mind-expanding guide, connecting readers with the wild we humans once knew so well. I will be recommending this to everyone’ - MATT HAIG” -” -
