HOW TO BREED SHEEP, GEESE AND ENGLISH ECCENTRICS
BY
Valerie Poore
When Maisie Peterson leaves university in 1977
without a job to go to, she decides to help her mother save her large and
impractical country property in the wilds of rural Dorset by trying her hand at
self-sufficiency. Ma is just a tad eccentric, though, and Maisie has no clue
about farming. Her efforts are thwarted at quite a few turns by a flock of
willful sheep, a dotty aunt, a charming but ineffective boyfriend and a
swarthy, but highly desirably agricultural auctioneer. Emily, the ewe, runs
rings round her while Ma drifts in and out of the scene in an ancient wedding
dress, causing havoc in Maisie's attempts to sort out her personal as well as
her agricultural problems.
MY THOUGHTS…
This book is honestly my favourite book ever!
Maisie's dream is also my dream, to have a farm, look after horses, try to stop my mother's dog from eating my eggs...
My favourite character is David, who seems like the most down to earth guy on the planet. He always seems to know what he's doing and also seems to like tea, because he is always drinking it with Maisie and the gang!
My favourite animal... it has to be Wellington and the ongoing joke about his name. My favourite thing that he did? I'm not adding a spoiler, but to those of you that have read this, his incident with the WWOOFer.
I Highly Recommend this book to all eccentrics and anyone else who wants to read it!
