About

My Family and Other Animals meets The Secret Life of Cows: this rediscovered gem tells the charming tale of how a baby llama transformed a Welsh farming family forever (with a foreword by John Lewis-Stempel).

Things llamas like: Snaffling cherry brandy, Easter eggs, and the Radio Times.

Fluttering movie star eyelashes at surprised visitors.

Curling up in 'tea-cosy' position by the fire.

Orbiting, helicoptering, and oompahing. Humming along to classical music.

Locking victims in the lavatory. Things llamas dislike: Having toenails trimmed by a visiting circus.

Being adopted mother to an orphaned lamb.

Invitations to star on Blue Peter. Accidentally swimming.

Snowdonia's rainfall. The dark. Ruth Ruck's family live on a Welsh mountain farm, no strangers to cow pats on the carpet and nesting hens in the larder. When dark days strike, they embark on a farming experiment to cheer them all up-but raising a baby llama proves more of an adventure than expected.
