Pig: Tales from an Organic Farm Tapa blanda -

Descripción de contraportada

In a frosty field on the longest night of the year, eight piglets snuffle their first breath, and jostle close to their mother to feed . . .

Over the six months that follow, pioneering organic farmer Helen Browning and her partner Tim Finney follow these pigs' adventures to show how they become the mischievous, competitive, intelligent and inventive characters that we know them to be. Lyrically told, and drawing on a lifetime's worth of knowledge, this is a timely and entrancing exploration of the way we manage our countryside, and of our relationship with farm animals, nature and life itself.
