Beschreibung:
To call Alice just another pig would be the gravest insult.Alice the Large Black pig was Paul Heineys best friend, his confidante and his therapist. This is the story of their tempestuous relationship with all its ups-and-downs, from her arrival as a large, black and expensive Christmas present for his wife to her last days as the matriarch of his traditional farm.In A Pig Called Alice, Heiney walks us through why lop-eared pigs are the best to raise (they cant see you coming), how to escape a sow thats decided youre her next mate (throw a bucket and run), and how, actually, pigs might have just got this whole life situation sorted out. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GOR010315833
Inhaltsangabe:
For almost a decade, broadcaster Paul Heiney shared his life with a pig called Alice on his farm in Suffolk. It was an often tempestuous relationship, although ultimately a very loving one. Over the years, after observing Alice s ways and those of her many offspring, he came to see that pigs had ways of ordering their lives from which we could all learn. Live Like a Pig is the story of his years with Alice, the finest pig that ever lived. He tells the tales of her adventures with new-born piglets, the visiting boar, the escapes and recaptures, the day she took hold of his trousers and said, come here, you re all mine now! And how he escaped in the nick of time. This is a celebration of one particular pig, who understood far more about contentment than many of us.
