Poetic... Parkinson writes with great lyricism... His knowledgeable
enthusiasm is infectious
*Sunday Times*
A joy from the very first page. Arthur's beautiful, lively and
accurate drawings of these enchanting feathery people are
irresistible, and I just love the way he writes. The whole thing is
bliss
*Joanna Lumley*
An author whose writing is as unashamedly ebullient as his dazzling
displays
*Gardens Illustrated*
This hugely informative, joyful and amusing book has me desperately
wondering and hoping that I could, after all, find space in my
small garden for a few chickens. Maybe the rhubarb will have to
go
*John Wright, author of THE FORAGER'S CALENDAR*
