CHLOE DALTON

Chloe’s debut book, Raising Hare, was an instant Sunday Times, New York Times and Der Spiegel bestseller. Among multiple awards and accolades, it won the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing and was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction.

Raising Hare tells the story of the unusual experience of raising a leveret to adulthood and beyond. Drawing from the extraordinary opportunity of observing a hare at close quarters in a relationship of trust - as it comes and goes freely from the wild - it is an appeal for better understanding, appreciation and protection for hares wherever they are found.
