About this book

The rabbit has fed and clothed the nation, has altered our landscape, has kept thousands of us in paid employment, has kept starvation at bay during two world wars and now provides all sorts of possibilities for the future. And how have we thanked it? We introduced myxomatosis and killed it by the million. Jill Mason puts the currently under-rated wild rabbit back into context. With lovely photographic illustrations by David Mason, she explains its lifecycle, its behaviour, breeding, feeding habits and, above all, its incredible adaptability and resourcefulness, which brings the species back from the brink to pest proportions again and again, in all corners of the earth, from semi-desert to meadowland. With a fascinating reference section on the sites of the UK's former commercial warrens.
