When George Courtauld became a midwife on his wife's stud farm, his first task was to learn the difference between a mare and a stallion! Equipped with this valuable information, he could diversify. Before long he was a dab hand at selling pony manure, matchmaking the horses, chauffeuring the sheep, breeding reluctant fish and purveying some rather unusual alcoholic beverages... The hilarious trials and tribulations that he recounts here are as madcap as those of James Herriot and as bizarre as those of Gerald Durrell. In their riotous telling, George Courtauld conjures up a true rural whiff-and a lingering taste of country life
