Tom Seidmann-Freud’s book of hare stories gathers folktales from across cultures, where rabbits appear as messengers between waking life and the deeper tunnels of the mind. This illustration draws from a Norwegian tale, an allegory of marriage that pairs the promise of happy union with its more unruly, unpredictable underside. Send this to the realist bride, the one who understands that devotion comes with a bit of disorder, and plans accordingly.

From the people who send them
The handwriting doesn't look printed. My mom asked if I'd written it myself. I said yes.
— Blake, LA
Arrived in four days. I'd braced for longer.
— Ian, Chicago
Sent it to a friend I hadn't seen since college. He sent me a photo of it on his side table a week later.
— Dave, Philly
My wife sent it to me on a random Tuesday. No occasion. That was the point.
— Eddie, Tampa
Kept it on my shelf next to my books. Doesn't look out of place. That's the highest compliment I can give a card.
Chelsey, New York
My little brother graduated in May. I live across the country. This was the closest I could get to being there.
— Jared, Chicago
Put one in every welcome bag for a networking event I hosted. Got emails afterward asking how I'd handwritten them all. I told them my secret.
