I just finished reading your book, moments ago. I'm from America, took a trip to Canada to ski with my family at Christmas time, visited a small book shop, and your book about raising a hare in the English countryside caught my eye and interest. So glad I picked it up. I loved that the peace and beauty you have discovered through the experience of raising the hare was infused into the pages, and I found my heart stilled alongside yours. I just got online to find a video of you, hoping I could see the hare myself. So glad I found this interview. Thank you for helping me slow down and look around a bit. I feel inspired to look for beauty in the world around me and see what I discover.
@GillMunchen Not posting yer usual BBC (durty scum) rant today, Gill? 🤔 Well, it _is_ Sunday after all; ‘day of our Lord’ and all that manmade baloney. 👍😉
Are we so diminished that we cannot call a leveret it's name and have to address the population as though they're five? How sad. Beautiful, haunting creatures. Anyone lucky enough to have a close encounter with one of these beautiful animals will know why the Celts had them as magical, spiritual creatures. We used to have some here,and meeting them and holding eye contact while I am scrutinised is one of the memories that will keep me happy in my old age ❤️ Thank Prince Charles for destroying them all. Duchy land with no more hares. I hope they haunt him.
@@Phoenix-regenerating Chloe's book is a joy to read, the respect, care and intuition she displayed towards the leveret is incredibly inspiring. I received the book for Christmas and I cannot recommend it highly enough - beautifully written too...
What a lovely story. A perfect interview for equinox. It’s Mabon here in the northern hemisphere, but Ostara in the southern hemisphere. Ostara is an old pagan fire festival to mark the return of spring, and is deeply connected with the hare as a symbol of the moon goddess and fertility. How special that this hare found such a sanctuary in this home. We really need to change that hideous law that lets people shoot them all year round. We need to support them to bounce back. 🪹🐇
I am yet to read this book, It should be arriving today post willing, but it sounds like it will be similar to George: A Magpie Memoir by Frieda Hughes, an excellent book though the subject matter is 'slightly' different. ❤️
I can't believe reading some of the incredibly spiteful comments full of bile that some individuals are prone to making? If she wanted a baby she would already have one ... she's a beautiful woman!
"And now my book has sold millions and squillions of copies and made me very rich even though I'm already very very well-off and I already lived on a lovely farm in the middle of beautiful farawaybuckhamshire where no one ever riots or begs or drops litter or anything. Which is nice."

Learned late in life the appreciation of wild life late. Always knew they needed that
Love it! Raised one myself. It was the most heart-warming experience I‘ve ever had.
Thank you for taking in this lovely little creature. Wildlife has changed my outlook on life.
We are surrounded by loving miracle of honest relationship when we open our eyes and hearts. So Beautiful
the beauty and essential essence of nature is the number one thing we should care about
thank you for this story
Just finished listening to Raising Hare on bbc sounds....beautiful. We have them in our garden regularly. They are MAGICAL.
Beautiful story. Thank you.
Just finished the book, amazing story, so well written . This would make a lovely Christmas gift for nature lovers on your list.
I bought the book today as a Christmas present for my mum.
Those lucky hares. Most are not so lucky.
Hair raising! 👍 🐰

Fabulous story......so heartwarming!

I've only seen one, years ago, but it was magical. It went right by me, only a few feet away. We are supposed to cheer when we lose more and more.
Modern politics summed up in under 5 minutes 😂
What an amazing story, thank u👏🤝💚
I ❤ this
How do you know it was separated from its mother, as the mothers always leave their babies for long daily periods, and come back to them periodically
Having read part of the story. She actually did wait.
That’s good to know, thanks for telling me you knew that. I hadn’t looked into it that much.
@@hempmaiden Thanks for your reply. It was a concern of mine too.

So, nothing related to humans then?
@@BrockSamson-i1i so, not a baby human?
After reading a longer interview I got the essence of how this helped increase her understanding. Looking forward to getting the book.
@@guff9567 says baby hare in the title
@@sirgavalot I think advice from a human would be more useful . A hare sounds completely deluded

Named one Krishna?
This is the story of Brexit in a nutshell. The hare is Britain, and the advisor is the EU.
What is wrong with you people? So obsessed with a capitalist confederation and trading bloc! This is a video about a leveret.
It's almost as if her natural maternal instincts have been wasted on an animal instead of a baby.
Babies are overrated. They're heavy consumers and grow up to be humans. Hare's, on the other hand, are a species we need more of.
@@BrockSamson-i1ilife indoors and exclusively online does that.
I can't believe reading some of the incredibly spiteful comments full of bile that some individuals are prone to making? If she wanted a baby she would already have one ... she's a beautiful woman!
But aren’t they not indigenous to Britain. Like aren’t they an introduced species?
Hares are indigenous. Rabbits are introduced. By the Romans.
@@susanwestern6434 Aren’t they the same species?
@@Markstubation01Related, but not the same.
@@Markstubation01 Totally different mate

Sold 2605 copies. Hope you're happy man.
What about the beautiful story ... you sound spiteful!
Oh, it's about plugging a book. 🙄
Nonsense.
