The Year of the Hare by Arto Paasilinna
The Year of the Hare by Arto Paasilinna
Translated from the Finnish by Herbert Lomas
Published by Peter Owen
Synopsis:
Vatanen the journalist is feeling burnt out and sick of the city. One summer evening while on assignment his car hits a young hare on a country road. He goes in search of the injured creature. This small incident becomes a life-changing experience for Vatanen as he decides to break free from the world's constraints. He quits his job, leaves his wife, sells his possessions to travel the Finnish wilds with his new-found friend. Their adventures take in forest fires, pagan sacrifices, military war games, killer bears and much more. A long-time best-seller in Finland and in France, The Year of the Hare is the author's favourite among his works. It has also been translated into Italian, German, Dutch, Greek, Hungarian, Japanese, Swedish and many other languages. It is frequently dramatized for the stage and has twice been made into a movie.
"Rarely do reviewers come upon a novel they believe to be a masterpiece, which they feel will become part of their imaginative lives. For me The Year of the Hare is such a work." The European
"There is an enchanted lightness to everything they do . . . This is such an inventive novel . . . that one does not want it to end." Ham and High
"No wonder the French have made this book into a cult. Finnish wit is as sharp as the Arctic weather." Mail on Sunday

Hare jewellery by Jeanette Easby
Jeanette is very generously donating £10.00 to the HPT for every sale.
Artist information
Jeanette says "This piece was inspired by the golden Hare in the Masquerade book by Kit Williams. As soon as I saw that Hare I knew that one day I would create my own, that was a little easier to wear. Many years later when I came to my new home I found we had wild Hares living around us and I spent many hours watching them leaping and playing in the fields. The Celestial Hare is my homage to them. The stars in its body representing the night sky I watch them playing under. The spiral pressed deep into its hind quarters representing the strength within the muscle that can send the hare leaping high into the sky as well as an age old symbol of the earth and all its secret powers. The little bead hanging beneath it represents the moon over which the Hare is leaping. I always enjoy creating these as each Hare turns out slightly different and therefore unique to itself just like a real Hare would be and I hope that you will enjoy receiving and wearing your very own unique Hare too".
She has her own shop Square Hare and an etsy shop: etsy shop - Jeanette Easby
The pendant for sale here through the HPT is made from brass. A sterling silver version is also available through Jeanette's shop at Square Hare. If the HPT is mentioned when ordering a silver one, through her own shop, Jeanette will donate £10.00 to the HPT.

Baby Hare Bellatrix - Soft Sculpture
Please meet baby hare Bellatrix. A textile ornament of a baby hare to display fondly in your home.
Bellatrix is a little bit of a worrier and he has started to take on the worries of the world at such an early age onto his tiny shoulders. His mama is very concerned and the other mothers have encouraged their babies to include him in their games and adventures. But, no, young Bellatrix doesn’t want to play, he wants to ponder and think things thru for the better. Wise owl has spoken with mama to say that this is fine and that Bellatrix will bring all the hares a safe future. He has just published his own blog – Thoughts of a Small Hare, started on Twitter and has been chosen for Wise Owl’s Forest and Field Observer, Analyst and Protector. Bellatrix is being sought out by all the leaders of the packs for his sage advice and wisdom.
Bellatrix has been made with great care and he has safety eyes. He has been machine and hand sewn by me and he has many 'unique' (imperfect, handmade) bits.
However, he is not recommended for very young children and is not a toy. He would love to sit quietly on a book shelf to think thru solutions to the many problems now needing answers.
He is made of a wool tweed and has a polyfill stuffing, along with a full stomach of dandelion leaves (only joking!).
He stands approx 17cm high and 12cm wide. In inches – 6.5" x 5" Bellatrix is rather calm about his journey and is now looking forward to his forever home! He also wants you to know that baby hares are called leverets. He comes with a small tag telling his story.
