This, the first of James Robertson's sagas about agriculture and country life, demonstrates that the young and inexperienced Robertson was even more prone to disaster than the older and still inexperienced Robertson. His pigs bit him, gave him lice, crawled up to his bed and indicated that man is not necessarily the dominant species. How do you communicate the facts of life to an innocent young boar? Persuade a sow not to eat her young? Survive an investigation by the Inland Revenue? Stay out of jail when your newly insured barn goes up in smoke? Any Fool Can be a Pig Farmer shows the other side of the rural idyll. It is painful, real and very funny.

I first read James Robertson's "Any Fool Can Be A Countryman" years ago and vowed that if I ever came to UK again (I live in N.Z.) then I would find some more of his books. This one didn't let me down. He gives a lighthearted view of his efforts to become a pig farmer, concentrating on the humorous side and omitting all the boring details which must have accompanied this enterprise. His descriptions of characters makes them come to life, you almost feel that if you met them in the street you would know them. For anyone who enjoys humorous writing this is a must.
