On the Trail of the Jackalope is a delightful read about all things jackalope. I had no idea about where they came from or that other countries have their own versions. This book is a fascinating combination of history, humor, travelogue, and the science surrounding the jackalope's probable inspiration from nature (rabbits infected with a virus that causes them to grow horns).
Based on the author’s extensive research — from interviews at roadside museums to exploring international folktales & mythology about horned rabbits to the scientific discovery of the HPV vaccine — each chapter offers fascinating and often fun information about the jackalope and its meaning to people. The writing style is clear and conversational. Branch is a great storyteller who is obviously passionate about jackalopes. I’d recommend this book to general nonfiction readers and those who like nature and/or science writing, animals, Americana, and folklore.
