The White Hare

Author: Michael Fishwick

When Robbie’s father remarries after the death of his wife and moves back to the West Country village where he was born to start on a renovation project, Robbie becomes embroiled in the local mythology surrounding sightings of a white hare, the harbinger of turmoil and destruction.

He is strangely drawn to the mysterious Mags, who tells him of a local tragedy connected to the two sons of the village grandees, little knowing how he will play a part in an impending death himself.

What starts out as a promising tale of how ancient folklore is steeped in everyday life in a small community, ultimately fails to deliver on the overall story.
