We are delighted to welcome Simon Carnell to Ely for a seasonal celebration of the creature once reckoned to be “the most lascivious and the most melancholy of animals”.

Hare is an especially fascinating addition to Reaktion Books’ highly praised Animal series, tracing the hare’s presence in art, literature, folklore and religious ritual, whilst also looking at the reality of this extraordinary animal’s existence. With its mixture of lively text and beautiful illustrations, Hare is a book that celebrates both the natural world and mankind’s representation of it.
