The Running Hare by John Lewis-Stempel (Omnibus)
Farmer John Lewis-Stempel wants to rediscover traditional farming practices to save the natural habitat. Read by Bernard Hill.
A close up and intimate natural history by John Lewis-Stempel. By taking an abandoned field close to his farm, he observes in minute detail the behaviour of plants, birds and animals that are being displaced by agribusiness. In telling the story of one field, he tells the story of our countryside, our language, our religion and our food. But in transforming one field, he creates a haven for one particular animal close to his heart - the brown hare.
