When lockdown led busy professional Chloe Dalton to leave the city and return to the countryside of her childhood, the last thing she expected was to be the custodian of a newly born hare. In this heartwarming and life-affirming event, she talks to politician William Hague about finding the creature, alone and no bigger than her palm, and choosing to nurse it and give it a chance at survival.
Dalton is a writer, political adviser and foreign policy specialist. She spent over a decade working in the UK Parliament and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Raising Hare chronicles Dalton’s journey with the hare, from caring for it as a baby to preparing for its return to the wild.
