About This Item
Lutterworth Press, 1977. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. 1977 U.K. hardcover with dust jacket. UNREAD COPY with bright, unmarked, well-bound pages. Jacket remains glossy and intact, shows minor handling wear only. A very good, bright, clean copy. "Bulls have fascinated people since the earliest times. Prehistoric man depicted them in cave paintings. Primitive tribes worshipped them. People of earlier civilizations sacrificed them to their gods. Farmers have proudly exhibited them, and man still fights them in the bull-ring to display his own courage. In this book, Ralph Whitlock -- author, broadcaster and farmer, who as a boy was the official custodian of the village bull in Wiltshire -- explores the whole subject from its earliest origins, the mythology associated with it, and the bull in Classical times, to the age of improvement in the eighteenth century and the resultant modern bull and its numerous breeds. Anyone who admires, or fears, this magnificent creature, will find this book richly informative and highly readable. Illustrated with over seventy photographs, it will appeal strongly to the countryman and the townsman alike.
