[MR] British Library: Killer Rabbits on the Hunt

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

Recently a friend called our attention to a fascinating blog post by the
British Library about medieval hares and rabbits fighting back against dogs
and offending humans. This was a common theme in medieval marginalia, and
though grim, they are intended to be humorous.

I particularly like the rabbit jousting from the back of a snail.

The bog is at

For more odd medieval bunnies try the earlier British Library blog post at

Yours Aye,
