Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tappy's Chicks: And Other Links Between Nature and Human Nature
This was what old Janet Keddie said when I went to buy a brood-hen from her, as she stood with her bare shining arms akimbo, looking down with a loving, critical eye upon her favourite, a buxom Dorking, in colour a rich mottled brown, with a much lighter breast, and on her head a spreading tuft or crest of the same yellowish hue.
