This little book is chock full of adorable and wonderful photographs of hares, as well as information and stories about their role in folklore, the challenges they face in the 21st century, and encounters that members of the Hare Preservation Trust have had with them. Well worth reading if you have an affection for members of the order Lagomorpha.
This is the first book I have read by this author, but I will certainly be looking for anything else she has published. What a great story

Pearson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388715600s/1902241.jpg|1903936] failed by focusing only upon the British red fox, and urban foxes in particular. There is a short section in the beginning about their natural habits, which ironically went into a bit more detail than even [b: Fox|1902241|The Adoration of Jenna Fox (Jenna Fox Chronicles, #1)|Mary E. Pearson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388715600s/1902241.jpg|1903936] did, followed by sections about fox hunting, man's interaction with foxes, and foxes in popular culture and mythology.

Pearson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388715600s/1902241.jpg|1903936] succeeded where this one fails in truly showing our disdain for the creatures and how strongly held those beliefs are.

I appreciated the focus upon Reynard, as [b: Fox|1902241|The Adoration of Jenna Fox (Jenna Fox Chronicles, #1)|Mary E.

This book was short, but ultimately more helpful and revealing than [b: Fox|1902241|The Adoration of Jenna Fox (Jenna Fox Chronicles, #1)|Mary E. Pearson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388715600s/1902241.jpg|1903936] was for a broader view of the red fox and its impact upon European life. The pictures, likewise, are quite nice and the poetry in it beautiful. It's good for a quick read, and a lovely book to have on hand for general perusal for all of those interested in foxes.
Though perhaps a bit better for a British audience than an American one, as that is most certainly the focus.… (más)
