Overview

What they needed was a miracle. What they got was a Spanish goatherder named Antonio. When a middle-aged English couple moves to rural Spain, they are blissfully unaware that their dreams of running a small pony trekking business would be scuppered within six weeks of arriving. A sun-filled future looks bleak until a neighbour takes charge. As well as embarking on a crash course in goat midwifery and veterinary care, they also learn cliff climbing, bridge building and more than a little kung-fu. Will a goat, a sheep and two dogs rescue the couple as they battle to survive?

Reviews

Gripping, fun and full of animal magic. This quirky memoir will charm you. Beth Haslam, author of the Fat Dogs and French Estates series. Orange-munching goats and dogs who speak with a Prince Charles accent, I loved this book. Elizabeth Moore, author of the Someday Travels series and Top 1000 Amazon reviewer. What a gorgeous book. I laughed and (happy) cried from start to finish. Victoria Twead, New York Times bestselling author of the Old Fools series. A joy, a delightful mix of tense and tender moments. Julie Haigh, Goodreads Librarian and Top 500 Amazon reviewer.

Author Information

Diane Elliott was born in Kent but spent her adult life in Dorset. Although trained as a secretary, her dream was to work with horses. As an eight-year-old, she won many rosettes in horse competitions, particularly for the egg-and-spoon and musical sack races. Upon reflection, that was a good start for a budding goatherder.
