In Warwickshire, pulped hares’ brains were given to calm restless new-born infants. It is recorded that in Alscot, up until the 20th C, a party of villagers would visit the lady of the manor to request a hare’s head so that its brains may be used for this purpose.

where a small bonfire still smokes; the sky is mottled, like an old enamel mug.'
