Imagine you could hold a baby hare and bottle-feed it. Imagine that it lived under your roof and lolloped around your bedroom at night, drumming on the duvet cover when it wanted your attention. Imagine that, over two years later, it still ran in from the fields when you called it and snoozed in your house for hours on end. This happened to me.

When Chloe, a city-dwelling professional with a high-pressure job, finds a newly born hare, endangered, alone and no bigger than her palm, she is compelled to give it a chance at survival - despite being the least likely caregiver to this wild animal.

Raising Hare is the story of their journey together. It chronicles an extraordinary relationship between human and animal, rekindling our sense of awe towards nature and wildlife. Their improbable bond of trust reminds us that the most remarkable experiences, inspiring the most hope, often arise when we least expect them.

Under The Stars, by Matt Gaw

Titles you won’t find in bigger bookstores…

We have books that many of the larger stores ignore. Stillwater are in the enviable position of seeking and finding pearls that sometimes sink under the radar of the giants. This means we can give little gems some of the starlight they deserve.

Come and see the catches our nets have brought in…

“I’ll read my books

and I’ll drink coffee

and I’ll listen to music

and I’ll bolt the door.”

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone, whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.”
