Rabbits: Gentle Hearts, Valiant Spirits
by Marie Mead
This book is a must-have for anyone who already has or who is thinking of getting a rabbit. It's an equally good fit for those who care about animals or who believe in the power of kindness and love. The twenty-five true stories are primarily about rescued rabbits, most of whom endure traumatic beginnings but end up in loving homes.
“Truly a ‘must read,’ Marie Mead’s wonderful book connects all caring people who have ever shared their lives and love (or wished they could) with a rabbit, a dog, a cat or, for that matter, any sentient being. The fragility and vulnerability of the domestic rabbit are captured in this volume of beautifully written stories that so delightfully convey the joyfulness, the individuality, and the tenderness of one of the world’s most misunderstood and abused animals.”
“Rabbits: Gentle Hearts, Valiant Spirits is a wonderful tribute to domestic rabbits—to their uninhibited joie de vivre, endless curiosity, and wide range of expression.When allowed the time and space to develop their diverse natures, these extraordinary creatures lead humans into a magical world as interesting as Watership Down—but as reality, not fiction. If you don’t believe that rabbits have individual and complex personalities to match our own, read this charming and insightful book.”
