Publications / Complete Catalogue / Any Fool Can Be A Pig Farmer
THIS, THE FIRST of James Robertson's sagas about agriculture and country life, demonstrates that the young and inexperienced Robertson was even more prone to disaster than the older and still inexperienced Robertson. His pigs bit him, gave him lice, crawled up to his bed and indicated that man is not necessarily the dominant species.
Ho do you communicate the facts of life to an innocent young boar? Persuade a sow not to eat her young? Survive an investigation by the Inland Revenue? Stay out of jail when your newly insured barn goes up in smoke?
Set amid the picturesque slag heaps of the North Wales border, Any Fool Can Be A Pig Farmer shows the other side of the rural idyll. It is painful, real and very funny. Paperback 160 pages
