Discover a forgotten British heritage. The protection and promotion
of the UK's native rare breeds is something that's in Adam Henson's
blood. His father, Joe, established the Rare Breeds Trust in 1973,
and they have been a core attraction at their Cotswold Farm Park,
and a part of the Henson family story ever since. In A Breed Apart,
Adam Henson takes readers on a very personal journey around the
nation, discovering the animals that have shaped our lives and our
land throughout the centuries. From postcard perfect Highland Cows
to the Cotswold sheep (for whom the Cotswolds are named), to the
fearsome, four-horned Manx Loagthan ram and the Ulster White Pig,
Adam travels the length and breadth of the British Isles,
uncovering the history of these ancient animals, meeting the
specialists and farmers who are passionate about their
preservation, and shares his hopes for the future of these
magnificent and unique breeds and his fight for their survival.
This is the story of Britain, told through the native breeds that
have nourished and nurtured the nation.
