At Bloomsbury, I thank Jim Martin for suggesting me as a Spotlight author, and Julie Bailey, Jane Lawes and Katie Read for their editorial help. I thank Liz Drewitt at Nature Edit for her skilled and effective copy-editing. My friends and hare experts Klaus Hackländer, Eric Marboutin, Silviu Petrovan and Philip Stott read and commented on my draft, making valuable suggestions and corrections. My dad, Richard Vaughan, inspired me to write.
