Greatheartan Alsatian puppywas born in a kennel close to the Mendip Hills in Somerset.When about to be soldhe ran off and took up life in the wild.During a very bad winter which brought famine into the lives of many wild creaturesGreatheart became their championand by doing so was made an animal with a price on his head.Trekking into Devonfollowing the trail of two ottersGreatheart meets with misfortune.Being homeless he finally succumbs to the charm of Lionel Radmorea Devon farmerand a great affection springs up between the two.When finally Lionel goes away on military servicethe dog sets off in search of himbecomes adopted by the Army and is trained as a guard dog.No more moving scene can be found in the annals of animal fiction that that where Greatheart finds his beloved master buried under the debris of a demolished barracks. Undoubtedly a stirring story for readers of all ages written in striking proseand ably illustrated by C. Gifford Ambler who has so convincingly caught the sensitive mood of this fine animal story. Joseph Eugene Chipperfield 1912-1976 was a writer and worked as an editor and script writer of documentaries.

As well as his horse stories he wrote many books about dogs which are probably considered his best worksalso other animalsusually in the wildsuch as eaglesfoxes and stags. His pony books were all about wild horses set in America.

1967réf. 010182London England: Frank Cass and Co Limited 1967. This new work by G. E. Fussell is a thorough examination of the role played by the English dairy farmer over the past 400 years. Beginning his study with the cow he gives an account of the improved breeding and feeding methods that make todays cow a totally different beast to that of the Tudor farmer. A chapter is devoted to the cultivation of fodder crops and another to the comfort of the cow for as the author states pleasant conditions are an important factor in encouraging its productivity. The dairy industry no less than any other in the 19th century was the scene of numerous devices and inventions designed to improve milking methods. This together with the development of the sale of milk in liquid form is discussed in later chapters. The practical difficulties of transporting milk had until about 1850 caused the major part of the milk produced to be turned into butter and cheese and the varying products of differing regions are fully described. Towards the end of 19 century however the number of dairies prepared to retail milk grew in number to accommodate an ever-increasing rate of milk consumption. Numerous farming textbooks published during the period and contemporary descriptions of the farming scene form the background for this scholarly appraisal. No other book has treated the English dairy Farmer in such detail and in drawing upon a such a wealth of illustrative material to support his conclusions G. E. Fussell has produced a work which will be valued by all agricultural historians. 357pp inclusive of index and bibliography. A LOVELY COPY!
