Description
The Running Hare: The Secret Life of Farmland In a world where traditional ploughland is disappearing, John Lewis-Stempel tells the story of the wild animals and plants that live in and under our fields. From the labouring microbes to the patrolling kestrel above the corn, he recalls an era before open-roofed factories and silent, empty fields. This is a tale of the ongoing destruction of the unique, fragile, and glorious ploughland that exists just down the village lane. But it is also a story of ploughland through the eyes of a man who took on a field and husbanded it in a natural, traditional way, restoring its fertility and wildlife. John Lewis-Stempel demonstrates that it is still possible to create a place where the hare can rest safe. With exquisite prose, he brings to life the intricate web of life that exists in the ploughland, from the linnet pecking at seeds to the seven-spot ladybird that eats the aphids that eat the crop.
