Reviews
"Written with tenderness and lyricism from someone who has taken the time to reconnect to nature and the wild within. A beautiful book." --Angelina Jolie "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, author of The Midnight Library "Spellbinding. . . Prepare to be bewitched by this future classic of nature writing." -- The Bookseller, Book of the Month "A remarkable debut." -- The Spectator (UK) "A tale of hope, channeled through the enduring and improbable bond between a human and a wild animal. It's a love letter to the natural world, encouraging us to stop in our tracks and pay attention to how awe-inspiring our environment can be." -- The Times (UK) "Enchanting . . . This is a book to reset our attitudes to the wild animals who live around us." Mail on Sunday (UK) "One of the most gorgeous tales of human-animal connection out there." -- iNews " 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, author of War Horse "A stunning work that captures something truly magical. This is more than a wildlife memoir, it's a philosophical masterpiece ruminating on our place as human beings in nature. It left me pondering the ways in which I could listen and look more deeply to better consider those with whom we share our landscape." --Clare Balding, author of My Animals and Other Family "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, conservationist, wildlife filmmaker, and host of the BBC's BAAFTA Award-winning Springwatch , Autumnwatch and Winterwatch series, "Written with tenderness and lyricism from someone who has taken the time to reconnect to nature and the wild within. A beautiful book." --Angelina Jolie "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, author of The Midnight Library "Raising Hare is more than just a charming wildlife-rescue story. It's more even than a lively cultural and natural history of a gentle creature that is too often regarded as a nuisance. Perhaps most of all Raising Hare is a perfect testimony to the transformative power of love. In learning to love an orphaned hare, Chloe Dalton learned to love the whole wild world. The great gift of this remarkable book is the way it teaches us to do the same." --Margaret Renkl, author of The Comfort of Crows "If you need a dose of sweet, calm sanity and deep connection to nature, this is the book for you. Chloe Dalton's writing is as captivating, stirring, and serene as the hare she raises. I loved every page and will be sending copies to all my friends and relatives." --Jennifer Ackerman, author of What an Owl Knows "Hares need their own enthusiasts, and they won't find one kinder or more curious than Chloe Dalton." --Catherine Raven, author of Fox and I: An Uncommon Friendship "Spellbinding. . . Prepare to be bewitched by this future classic of nature writing." -- The Bookseller, Book of the Month "A remarkable debut." -- The Spectator (UK) "A tale of hope, channeled through the enduring and improbable bond between a human and a wild animal.

Chloe Dalton''s writing is as captivating, stirring, and serene as the hare she raises. I loved every page and will be sending copies to all my friends and relatives." --Jennifer Ackerman, author of What an Owl Knows "Chloe Dalton didn''t suspect that finding a helpless baby hare would be a great turning point in her life. Her adrenaline-filled work in government policy didn''t prepare her for how raising this small, wild, helpless creature would open her eyes to a new world--one that is around us all the time. She didn''t know that her life of words would be changed when she realized how much can be communicated in silence. Fortunately for us, Dalton shares these rich and profound experiences in this beautiful book." --Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel and Alfie and Me: What Owls Know, What Humans Believe "Hares need their own enthusiasts, and they won''t find one kinder or more curious than Chloe Dalton." --Catherine Raven, author of Fox and I: An Uncommon Friendship "Spellbinding. . .

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * FINALIST FOR THE 2025 WOMEN'S PRIZE * A moving and fascinating meditation on freedom, trust, loss, and our relationship with the natural world, explored through the story of one woman's unlikely friendship with a wild hare. A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK: The New York Times, Kirkus , Paste Magazine, Sunset Magazine "A philosophical masterpiece ruminating on our place as human beings in nature."--Matt Haig, author of The Midnight Library " A perfect testimony to the transformative power of love. In learning to love an orphaned hare, Chloe Dalton learned to love the whole wild world. The great gift of this remarkable book is the way it teaches us to do the same."--Margaret Renkl, author of The Comfort of Crows Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and bounded around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, more than two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and slept in your house for hours on end. For political advisor and speechwriter Chloe Dalton, who spent lockdown deep in the English countryside, far away from her usual busy London life, this became her unexpected reality. In February 2021, Dalton stumbles upon a newborn hare--a leveret--that had been chased by a dog. Fearing for its life, she brings it home, only to discover how difficult it is to rear a wild hare, most of whom perish in captivity from either shock or starvation. Through trial and error, she learns to feed and care for the leveret with every intention of returning it to the wilderness. Instead, it becomes her constant companion, wandering the fields and woods at night and returning to Dalton's house by day. Though Dalton feared that the hare would be preyed upon by foxes, weasels, feral cats, raptors, or even people, she never tried to restrict it to the house. Each time the hare leaves, Chloe knows she may never see it again. Yet she also understands that to confine it would be its own kind of death. Raising Hare chronicles their journey together while also taking a deep dive into the lives and nature of hares, and the way they have been viewed historically in art, literature, and folklore. We witness firsthand the joy at this extraordinary relationship between human and animal, which serves as a reminder that the best things, and most beautiful experiences, arise when we least expect them., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - FINALIST FOR THE 2025 WOMEN'S PRIZE - A moving and fascinating meditation on freedom, trust, loss, and our relationship with the natural world, explored through the story of one woman's unlikely friendship with a wild hare.

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 slept in your house for hours on end and gave birth to leverets in your study. For political advisor and speechwriter Chloe Dalton, who spent lockdown deep in the English countryside, far away from her usual busy London life, this became her unexpected reality. In February 2021, Dalton stumbles upon a newborn hare--a leveret--that had been chased by a dog. Fearing for its life, she brings it home, only to discover how impossible it is to rear a wild hare, most of whom perish in captivity from either shock or starvation. Through trial and error, she learns to feed and care for the leveret with every intention of returning it to the wilderness. Instead, it becomes her constant companion, wandering the fields and woods at night and returning to Dalton's house by day. Though Dalton feared that the hare would be preyed upon by foxes, stoats, feral cats, raptors, and even people, she never tried to restrict it to the house. Each time the hare leaves, Chloe knows she may never see it again. Yet she also understands that to confine it would be its own kind of death. Raising Hare chronicles their journey together, while also taking a deep dive into the lives and nature of hares, and the way they have been viewed historically in art, literature, and folklore. We witness first-hand the joy at this extraordinary relationship between human and animal, which serves as a reminder that the best things, and most beautiful experiences, arise when we least expect them.

On what I was not asked about this time, communicating with the seller would have required using email outside of the eBay system, because they do not accept eBay messages, the book was well packed in a purpose-designed cardboard box, the shipping was faster than I expected for the bound media rate, and the book was exactly as described and pictured.Tameshigiri - The History and Development of Japanese Sword Testing by Sesko (N° 282906424466)
- r***w (213)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoItem was lost in delivery- but after some communication, seller was understanding and provided a refund. I ordered another and had it sent elsewhere. My main issue was that it felt as if I was getting automated responses at first!! Please have humans review human inquiries!! It was painstaking explaining the situation to an A.I. who only repeats unhelpful replies. Thanks again!! Otherwise. Great price! Great seller!
- a***o (684)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoBook is like new as described (remainder). Price was fair Shipping time was quick, but one problem is the packaging. It was simply put in a big brown envelope (too big for the mailbox) with no inner packing i.e no plastic wrapping inside to protect the book. The book was left outside our door in the rain while we were out and the envelope was soaked. When we dried the package and opened it the back of the dust jacket was wet. I suggest the seller use some inner package packing to the protect it
