Description

The Leaping Hare is a classic of nature writing, considering the wild hare in nature, poetry, folklore, history and art. George Ewart Evans was a pioneer of oral history, and the book features testimony from all walks of countryside life, which sings from the pages. 'A lovely book that is both exploratory and rooted in a sense of the hare's mystery.' - Seamus Heaney

Author Biography:

Born in the mining town of Abercynon, South Wales, George Ewart Evans (1909-88) was a pioneering oral historian. In 1948 he settled with his family in Blaxhall, Suffolk, and through conversing with his neighbours he developed an interest in their dialect and the aspects of rural life which they described. Many were agricultural labourers, born before the turn of the century, who had worked on farms before the arrival of mechanisation. With the assistance of a tape recorder he collected oral evidence of the dialect, rural customs, traditions and folklore throughout East Anglia.
