The Pig : A British History (2nd ed)

This history of one of our best-loved animals, first published in 1986, traces the development of the pig as an integral part of British agriculture and describes the changes that have taken place both in its breeding and in its husbandry.

This new edition, illustrated with paintings, photographs and line drawings, includes the famous "Dissertation upon Roast Pig" by Charles Lamb, along with a new introduction and updated final chapter taking account of the most recent developments.
