About this deal

But as the wind blew and dried him, his skin became drawn and hardened, and the salt increased the pain so much that he rolled on the sand in his agony and cried aloud. In Canada and the United States, a Cree cultural legend tells a different story, about a young rabbit who wished to ride the Moon. Only the crane was willing to take him there. The trip stretched the crane's legs as the heavy rabbit held them tightly, leaving them elongated as the legs of all cranes are now. When they reached the Moon, the rabbit touched the crane's head with a bleeding paw, leaving the red mark cranes wear to this day. According to the legend, on clear nights, Rabbit still may be seen riding the Moon. [ citation needed] Modern references [ edit ] Spaceflight [ edit ] After a devastating relationship breakdown, Mila and her five year daughter, Jane, are desperate for a fresh start. Which is how Mila, her daughter and Mila’s mother, Magda, end up purchasing a rundown home in a small valley in Cornwall, which Magda plans to restore and turn into a functioning bed and breakfast. But immediately upon their arrival, the women start to realize that there is a secret looming over the White Valley; the townspeople talk about strange happenings and curses, and young Jane seems fascinated with her own stuffed rabbit, claiming it’s telling her tales from someone assigned to protect the property. Mila just wants to escape her past and start a new life, but something in White Valley won’t let her, and she is forced to with her demons before she can be granted a new beginning.

The story explores the Cornish folklore and it's an atmospheric read. Magda and Mila buy a gothic styled house that they want to restore but both have different visions for it's use after the restorations are complete. The Cornish legend is entwined with the supernatural, Mila's daughter, five year old Janey's behaviour changes almost overnight. she becomes obsessed with a toy rabbit. This is a descriptively and well written book. The characters are well developed and believable. I quite enjoyed this book. There is a timeless quality to the book with only a few references to the Second World War pointing to it being set in 1954. The remoteness of White Cove and the nearby village gives a sense of a place somewhat detached from modern life. ‘The old ways run deep in this part of the county. It’s a place full of ancient mysteries and a great deal of superstition.’ In this respect Cornwall with its rich history of legends and its ancient monuments makes an ideal setting for the story. It’s believable that the supernatural is not far from the surface in this part of the world and that life is lived very much to the rhythm of nature. It also goes some way to explaining the villagers initial hostility towards the new arrivals. ‘The valley doesn’t welcome outsiders.’ Although for me the book moved at a sedate pace, the constant sense of unease the author created helped maintain my interest. There are a number of odd occurrences from ‘mishaps and minor accidents’ to strange visions, many associated with Mila’s daughter, Janey. Some of these defy rational explanation whilst others prove to have more conventional causes. I enjoyed how many of the strange events tied in with the history of the area and that they were given expression through women. The prologue and epilogue neatly reflect this. I cannot express my thanks for all you have done for me! It is my earnest wish to do something for you in return. Please tell me who you are?”Brenda is voiced by Liliana Mumy. When she said "I hate her already," an animation error had her dressed like Beverly. This book was lovely and enjoyable to read. It was a very fulfilling, solid story with a good variety of characters. Add to the fact that it’s set in Cornwall, in a deep valley with residents who do not like outsiders, have their own secrets and deep folklore/history. I have my own Cornish anticedents, and from similar areas to Ms Johnson., and The White Hare came into my hands during a period of ill health. Ill health imposes its own demands on what you can read and enjoy, in partilular in terms of character and pace. I needen't have worried - this is a novel of great pace and with characters fiercely drawn.

Many other British cookbooks from before the middle of the 20th century have recipes for jugged hare. Merle and Reitch [25] have this to say about jugged hare, for example:Long, long ago, when all the animals could talk, there lived in the province of Inaba in Japan, a little white hare. His home was on the island of Oki, and just across the sea was the mainland of Inaba. Gary L. Benton. "Vitamins, Minerals, and Survival". Preparedness and Self-Reliance.
