'Had it not been for the fortuitous circumstances of Sam's youthful sentiment, there can be little doubt that, instead of this my Book before you on your Table, you would have a rasher of Bacon and a Rack of Ribs - and that these would be my only mortal remains.'

Professional reviews

"The memoirs of a learned pig ‘A delicious book’ MARIE DARRIEUSSECQ, author of Pig Tales A story so extraordinary you won't ever be able to forget it, for these are no ordinary Memoirs; these are the memoirs of a PIG ‘A delicious book. A reminder of the risks, the drama and the quite extraordinary comedy of being born with a snout, four hooves and a corkscrew tail.’ MARIE DARRIEUSSECQ, author of Pig Tales ‘In prose that manages to be both dense and arch, Toby relates his escape from the butcher’s knife with the help of his friend Sam…all good clean fun.’ THE TIMES ‘This witty narrative style combined with the engaging historical setting succeeds in creating an immensely entertaining read.’ WE LOVE THIS BOOK"
