Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton.
Raising Hare tells the story of the unusual experience of raising a leveret to adulthood and beyond. Drawing from the extraordinary opportunity of observing a hare at close quarters in a relationship of trust - as it comes and goes freely from the wild - it is an appeal for better understanding, appreciation and protection for hares wherever they are found.
Amongst other awards and accolades, this book was shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction, 2025, and was winner not only of the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing 2026 but also the Wainwright Prize Book of the Year 2026. It is nature writing at its finest.
