About Victoria Twead:

Victoria Twead nagged her long-suffering partner, Joe, into moving from England to Spain in 2004. They settled into a tiny mountain village in Andalucía, became reluctant chicken farmers and ended up owning probably the most dangerous cockerel in Spain. 

Woven into the chapters are a number of Spanish recipes given to Vicky by the village ladies.

Victoria’s hilarious record of their culture shock and life with the villagers is told in her new book, Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools. This charming, beautifully written book will have you laughing one minute, holding back tears the next, and finally reaching for your saucepan.

Awarded the HarperCollins Authonomy 'Gold Star'.
