Recensione:

Celebration of all things porcine; in facts, quotations, proverbs and sayings, written by a leading authority on pigs, also secretary of the Gloucestershire Old Spot breeders' club - hurray. --The Bookseller, Editor's Pick May 2010

You might be hard pressed to find common ground between Winston Churchill, Elizabeth Hurley and Jimmy Doherty (farmer and TV presenter). But there is, and that common ground is a fascination with pigs. This is just one of those quirky little facts, beloved of quiz setters and miscellany readers and found in Richard Lutwyche's book. Lutwyche is secretary of the Gloucestershire Old Spots and Saddlebacks Breeders' Clubs, qualifying him amply to let us in one the downright fascinating world of pigs and their place in our lives. From old inn signs to a plethora of insults, pigs have an identity way beyond the farmyard. This meticulously researched book will brighten the darkening autumnal days of many a porcine fan. --BBC Countryfile

The Ultimate Pig Miscellany offers us a marvellous and entertaining selection of sayings and proverbs. We discover unexpected piggy people from Vinnie Jones to Sir Winston Churchill. An informative book packed with unusual facts and meticulous research. --The Ark, Rare Breeds Survival Trust
