A writer stumbles upon a tiny, motionless creature on a country road and, against all good advice, takes it home. The resulting memoir, Raising Hare, is a lovely meditation on nature and our relationship to it. And: have you ever invented a fake swear word to hide the real ones from little ears? One family’s secret code was bandoozer—and it almost worked. Plus: what do these words have in common: elver, spat, smolt, and leveret? Also, candle bat, hobbyless, jan-ken-pon and Rochambeau, thick as burgoo, pobbies, urp, Rawhead and Bloody Bones, and that’s it, Fort Pitt.
