The Hare by Jill Mason

Oh yum. The first major book on the hare for 30 years! The text on the inside cover begins with "There is something special about a hare"….. Yes, we know! This magical, mystical and mysterious creature is loved the world over and we're rather excited to have found this book. Visually it's absolutely gorgeous with almost 200 stunning colour photographs. There are chapters on the natural history of the hare, covering its behavior throughout the seasons, its courtship and breeding, its favoured habitats and worldwide distribution, its remarkable survival techniques, its predators and hunters. Then there is a section on legends and myths, folklore and superstition, followed by the latest scientific findings and conservation initiatives clearly reported for the lay reader. Irresistible.
