A collection of seven gentle and endearing stories, by a writer who is himself a small-holder, about the animals on Rhos Evan farm. The stories depict the relationship between animals and humans as well as between animals themselves, through adventures or eventful days. Touches of humour are threaded throughout the book. All the creatures have their unique character, and the stories revolve around their role on the farmyard and in the fields. A very appealing read for children who live within a rural context, but also for the many children who love animals, especially dogs and horses.

About the Author

Alex Barr is a man of many talents. He worked as a bus conductor, kitchen porter, garden labourer and ice-cream salesman and journalist before becoming an architect. In 1996, he left the Department of Architecture at Manchester Metropolitan University and moved to Pembrokeshire to become a smallholder. There, with his wife who is a ceramic artist, he has kept animals and grown his own food, though by now a few sheep are his only stock. A published poet and writer of short stories, his work has been broadcast on Radio 4. Among his interests are woodwork (mainly children's toys) and Balkan folk dance - and his next aim is to write a book of one hundred haikus.
