<p><i>The Leaping Hare</i> is a rare and remarkable book about every aspect of the life and legend of the wild hare, exploring nature, poetry, folklore, history and art. A frequent feature in the mythology of many cultures, the hare has been linked with mystery and witchcraft throughout civilisation, and still today retains an air of enchantment.<br><br>''A lovely book that is both exploratory and rooted in a sense of the hare''s mystery..'' Seamus Heaney</p>
