Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Utterly beguiling. (Daily Mail)

Illuminating. (Sunday Telegraph)

A small classic. (Financial Times)

An extraordinary book about cows and how they live; they have family groups and they certainly have friends. (Clare Balding)

A delightful, spry and neatly crafted book. (Sunday Times)

No one who has read her book will look at cows in the same light again. (Blake Morrison Guardian)

A plea for us to appreciate the complex inner lives of our inquisitive, loving, bovine friends. (Matt Haig Guardian Books of the Year)

The Secret Life of Cows is one of the most charming and touching books I have ever read. (Jilly Cooper)

'Curiously moving. I felt myself welling up a little at Young's account of being "wrenched" from a deep sleep on a cold February night by a moo of absolute determination. It was Araminta, a mother calling out for her sickly son. This touching book will leave you looking at Friesians in the field - and even a nice bit of rib-eye steak - completely differently.' (Times)

Reseña del editor:

****A Sunday Times bestseller*** ***A Times Book of the Year 2017*** WITH A FOREWORD BY ALAN BENNETT '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.
