Overview

"The Story of a Hare" by J. C. Tregarthen is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The tale centers around the life of a hare living in the wild, exploring themes of survival, motherly instincts, and the constant threat from predators in a richly described natural setting. At the start of the story, we meet a mother hare in Cornwall, searching for a safe place to give birth to her young. She carefully evaluates various potential homes in the hills near Land's End, characterized by their rugged charm and the dangers that lurk within them. The opening details her nurturing nature as she tends to her adorable leverets, keeping them hidden from danger while constantly on alert for predators such as foxes. Through vivid imagery and thoughtful narrative, the initial chapters outline the hare's protective instincts and the instincts of the surrounding wildlife, setting the stage for the hare's challenges and adventures in the wild.
