A captivating, beautifully illustrated memoir of a life in nature,
and a testament to the mutual rewards and delights of keeping
chickens, by the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Flower Yard
'I am a toddler the first time I meet a chicken, and we are equal
in size and height. The hen has tiny eyelashes, a strawberry-jam
face and a voice of purring clucks. I sense a happy spirit of
inquisitiveness and smile in fascination. From that moment on, I
will always love the company of chickens. I have found my tribe'
Most of us want a dog, or a cat, or a pony when we are young - for
Arthur Parkinson, it was always hens. Growing up in an ex-mining
town in Nottinghamshire, the other kids in the playground called
him 'Chicken Boy'. But the quiet fulfilment of keeping hens became
his sanctuary, a tonic for mental and physical health, a connection
with his family and the natural world. From the local allotments
and his nan's back garden, to Chatsworth and an unlikely friendship
with the late Duchess of Devonshire, a famous hen-keeper, Chicken
Boy tells the story of the love and satisfaction to be found in
caring for living things. Illustrated with Arthur's own
characterful watercolours and photographs of his 'girls', and laden
with practical hen-keeping tips, gardening advice and introductions
to common, rare and pure breeds, Chicken Boy is a one-of-a-kind
memoir of a life in nature.
