'A lovely,thoughtful little book about the intelligence of cows.'- James Rebanks,author of The Shepherd's Life
Cows are as varied as people. They can be highly intelligent or slow to understand,vain,considerate,proud,shy or inventive.
Although much of a cow's day is spent eating,they always find time for extra-curricular activities such as babysitting,playing hide and seek,blackberry-picking or fighting a tree. This is an affectionate record of a hitherto secret world.
Written without undue sentimentality,The Secret Life of Cows nevertheless makes a strong case for the humane rights of livestock,illuminated by absorbing anecdote and observation. For this new edition,Alan Bennett provides a knowing foreword.
