Racing pigs and Giant Marrows

– Travels Around the North Country Fairs –

“… Encompassing such diverse entertainments as fell-running, tupperware-boxing and rabbit-fancying (literally), and containing many more jokes about goats than is legal on the Isle of Man, Racing Pigs and Giant Marrows is without doubt the only book in existence to explain the design faults of earwigs and expose English farmers’ fondness for transvestism. Warm, wise, and very funny, it confirms increasing suspicions that Harry Pearson is really quite good.”
