Synopsis

The Farms for City Children charity gives children from inner-city schools the chance to stay and work on a farm in Devon for a week, and to truly experience life in the country. In a similar way, the pages of this warm anthology capture an inspirational snapshot of the countryside and its animals. From Ted Hughes's famous animal poems and Michael Morpurgo's dog's-eye-view to the visit paid by the mysterious Mona in Jamila Gavin's family story, there is a special insight for everyone in this book.
