Secrets Of The Little Red Cow

One dark and stormy night, Mo hears her Inner Voice urging her to begin writing her memoirs. Having ignored her Inner Voice’s advice once before, with near-fatal consequences, she decides, this time, to do as she is told. Mo looks back on her life, beginning with the crucial moment when she met another cow, who introduced herself as La Vache qui Rit, and assured Mo that there was nothing more stupid in this world than a stupid cow. Mo spends her life trying to prove to her friend that, despite being a cow, she is not at all stupid. Besides, she has her Inner Voice and a great desire to live! Set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, in which defeated Republican supporters are still being persecuted by victorious Nationalists. Memoirs of a Basque Cow paints a funny, touching portrait of friendship and freedom and the sometimes difficult process of finding oneself. Translated by the UK's finest translator of Spanish, Margaret Jull Costa.

Reproduction of the original: The Red Cow and Her Friends by Peter McArthur

Peter McArthur in this book put together some interesting information about cows and some other farm animals including sheep, pigs, turkeys, dogs, cats, and others. This book discusses the nature of these farm animals in an understandable and relatable manner. Blessed with satisfactory illustrations and descriptions, this book is a lovely book for people interested in animal husbandry and zoology.

Growing up on a hard-working farm in the fifties, Julie and her siblings know the power of sticking together. Through accidents, near-escapes, bullying, and occasional racism, they rely on each other, delighting in the landscape and fierce seasons of northeastern Saskatchewan. From adventures in the dugout with the “stone boat” to gruesome injuries in the timber yard, births, miscarriages, and first dates, Secrets, Surprises, and Love is a testament to the scope of childhood ingenuity and a family life guided by love and faith. A personal memoir of the author’s life from birth until young adulthood, Secrets, Surprises, and Love is also a vivid and detailed historical document of a time very different from our own.

This little Silesian spell-book contains spells & remedies for man & beast. It seems to have first appeared "in Braband" with a second expanded edition printed in Cologne in 1725. It is clear from the contents that this collection has nothing to do with Egypt, but rather "Egyptian" that is used to refer to Roma Gypsies, based on the mistaken belief that this diverse ethnic group originated in Egypt. It's connection with actual lore of the Roma is also tenuous, and "Egyptian" is used more as a generic term for "magic". but was eventually used generically to refer to Eastern wise men or wizards.)

Excerpt from The Red Cow: And Her Friends It is always a pleasure to avoid responsibility and it gives me a feeling of relief to be able to announce that I am not wholly responsible for this collection of sketches. When it was suggested that I should put together the articles dealing with the Red Cow, and the other farm animals, I felt reluctant to trouble the public with a somewhat frivolous book at the present time. It seemed as if Fate were with me for when it was decided to go on with the book it was found that my file of clippings had been lost. But the matter was still urged and, remembering that at different times readers had written to me saying that they were in the habit of clipping the articles for future reference, I published a paragraph telling of my predicament. The result was that I received clippings from all parts of Canada and some were even sent from neighbouring States. Through the kindness of my unknown friends I am able to offer a book which they have really edited. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
