A captivating testament to the mutual rewards and delights of keeping chickens, by the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Flower Yard

Most of us want a dog, or a cat, or a pony when we are young – but for Arthur Parkinson, it was always hens. Growing up in an ex-mining town in Nottinghamshire, the other kids in the playground called him 'Chicken Boy'. The quiet fulfilment of keeping hens became his sanctuary, a tonic for mental and physical health, a connection with his family and the natural world. Illustrated with Arthur's own characterful watercolours and photographs of his ‘girls’, Chicken Boy is a one-of-a-kind memoir of a life in nature.

Kritikerstimmen

Poetic... Parkinson writes with great lyricism... His knowledgeable enthusiasm is infectious (Bee Wilson)
A joy from the very first page. Arthur's beautiful, lively and accurate drawings of these enchanting feathery people are irresistible, and I just love the way he writes. I am now jealous of fox-free areas where chickens may be kept. The photographs are award-winning: the whole thing is bliss (Joanna Lumley)
This hugely informative, joyful and amusing book has me desperately wondering and hoping that I could, after all, find space in my small garden for a few chickens. Maybe the rhubarb will have to go (John Wright, author of THE FORAGER'S CALENDAR)

Beautifully read by the delightful author, makes you realise what it is to be passionate about something. Not only is the ultimate guide to keeping chickens (and I have no ambition at all to do this), but there is real love here, and makes you really appreciate chickens, eggs, and the people who tend and protect them. So, even if you don’t keep chickens or don’t intend to do so, but if you love animals and gardens, I highly recommend this beautiful audiobook!

Utterly charming!
