Cows are my passion. What I have ever sighed for has been to
retreat to a Swiss farm, and live entirely surrounded by cows - and
china. - Charles Dickens Cows are one of the most common farm
animals on earth, but what many people don't realise is that they
are also gentle creatures with a uniquely inquisitive nature. Moo
is a collection of quotes from the famous and not-so famous, paired
with charming photographs that celebrate the humble cow. From
Thomas de Quincey to Mary Quant, cows have fascinated writers,
philosophers, fashion designers, film stars and musicians for
centuries. They are hugely sociable creatures, with several strange
habits, such as being able to sleep while standing, and spending up
to eight hours a day chewing. Moo will open your eyes to their
immense variety, their joyfulness, and their surprising tenderness.
With photos of over 70 of the world's most popular cattle breeds,
this is the perfect gift for anyone from bovine experts to folks
who happen to find cows cute (you'll be surprised by how many
famous names agree!). Pick up Moo today and gain an endearing,
amusing insight into the magic of these animals that are absolutely
integral to our lives.
