Bringing Home the Cows (Paperback)

Paperback. This is the story of a boy's life, growing up on a farm in the 1960s.

With his dog Lucy, he roams the countryside observing wildlife, his passion, encountering birds of prey and his beloved butterflies and moths. He also loves to keep and breed many pets, particularly guinea pigs and budgerigars, yet, having to attend three different schools does not leave happy memories, until he meets the local girls - his first loves.
