A great and important tale for our times -- MICHAEL MORPURGO
This is more than a wildlife memoir, it's a philosophical masterpiece -- CLARE BALDING
This book is exceptional. A simply wonderful story, profoundly beautiful -- CHRIS PACKHAM
A glorious book - for its warmth, its precision, its joy. It's not dreamy or romantic about the natural world - it's something far better than that -- KATHERINE RUNDELL
Written with tenderness and lyricism from someone who has taken the time to reconnect to nature and the wild within. A beautiful book -- ANGELINA JOLIE
A fascinating meditation on nature, friendship, renewal and love [ . . . ] awakening in us a sense of wonder. It helps us pay attention to the world around us, and, in doing so, rediscover ourselves -- ELIF SHAFAK
This book tells a story of true friendship with great respect . . . If you love animals, this book is incredibly beautiful and moving and helped me see nature differently. I think it's the best non-fiction book of the year -- ELIZABETH GILBERT
This is a book of sheer joy and goodness in our times often marked by dark and troubling events. It transports you to a world of long-lost innocence and makes you want to hug the world * * Financial Times, 'Best Books of 2024' * *
A nourishing nature memoir at its finest * * Sunday Times, 'Books of the Year' * *
The story of this excellent book is in one sense familiar: a narrator, experiencing a rupture or crisis, is transformed through a magical encounter with a "wild" creature, a hare. But there is much more going on here. Dalton has a zoologist's eye for detail and a poet's sensitivity to language * * Guardian, 'Book of the Day' * *
