'This very informative and in-depth book about rabbits has some
excellent and entertaining chapters on the rabbit in art, literature,
myth, and popular culture, which I particularly enjoyed.' Libby Joy The
Beatrix Potter Society An Affectionate History of Nature's Most
Surprising Species. Independent and resourceful, rabbits represent
balance, rebirth, speed, fertility, resurrection, abundance, creativity,
magic, and harmony. Yet they are much more than symbols, they are unique
individuals with complex inner lives. In The Way of the Rabbit, Mark
Hawthorne immerses himself in their world, exploring their habitats and
evolution, their role in legend and literature, their place in popular
culture, their fascinating biology, and, of course, their significance
as household companions. It's an entertaining journey through myth and
history that celebrates the rabbit's spirit, courage, friendships, and
playfulness.
