Ruth Janette Ruck - Along Came A Llama (2nd Hand Hardback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9780571363193
Synopsis
Full Title : Ruth Janette Ruck - Along Came A Llama - Tales from a Welsh Hill Farm.
Foreword by John Lewis-Stempel.
My Family and Other Animals meets The Secret Life of Cows: this rediscovered gem tells the charming tale of how a baby llama transformed a Welsh farming family forever.
Things llamas like: Snaffling cherry brandy, Easter eggs, and the Radio Times. Curling up in 'tea-cosy' position by the fire. Orbiting, helicoptering, and oompahing. Locking victims in the lavatory.
Things llamas dislike: Being adopted mother to an orphaned lamb. Invitations to star on Blue Peter. Snowdonia's rainfall. The dark.
Ruth Ruck's family live on a Welsh mountain farm, no strangers to cow pats on the carpet and nesting hens in the larder. When dark days strike, they embark on a farming experiment to cheer them all up - but raising a baby llama proves more of an adventure than expected.
Along Came a Llama is a delightful 1970's farming classic: a charming, witty portrait of country life that will warm the hearts of animal lovers everywhere.

'Full of soul . . . One departs this book a convinced llama-lover . . . It is a guide to the future. To a good life.' - John Lewis-Stempel.
The Author
Ruth Janette Ruck wrote three much-loved memoirs - Place of Stones (1961), Hill Farm Story (1966), and Along Came A Llama (1978) - about her Welsh hill farm Carneddi which became a local tourist attraction in Snowdonia, even starring in an 'About Britain' episode called 'The Lady and the Llama.' She died in 2006 but her family still run the same farm today - minus the llama, alas.
