About This Book

The narrative follows the life of a wild hare on the Cornish uplands, tracing her nesting, rearing of leverets, foraging, and the seasonal struggles of survival. Through episodic, observational chapters it portrays predator encounters, close calls with polecats, foxes, stoats and human intrusions, migrations between heaths, and the hardships of a severe winter. Rich natural description evokes the moorland, cliffs, and farm edges while combining recorded incidents and cautious imaginative inference to convey instincts, ruses, and the rhythms of wild existence. The account emphasizes adaptation, maternal care, and the precarious balance between refuge and danger in a disappearing rural landscape.
