<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A guinea pig book for adult readers. Warm, funny and deeply humane. You'll never see a guinea pig the same way again.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Guinea pigs are under-rated in the intelligence department. But guinea pigs can change your life, and indeed, the course of earthly history...</p><p>Merridy discovers a surreal guinea pig underworld at the Hobart Guinea Pig Show, where she adopts the tiny pedigree Hazel and the handsome mongrel Chestnut. She has no idea that her home, her family, the island of Tasmania, and ultimately, Planet Earth, will in time be turned upside down by the acquisition of two ridiculous furballs with twiddly little legs.</p><p>For guinea pigs are smarter than most humans think. And the angelic Hazel is a Pig God in training.</p><p><em>Pig Tails</em> depicts a charming and funny domestic scene, but one with cosmic implications (to be fully revealed in Books 2 and 3). This is what happens when you find yourself eye-to-eye with somepig of a different species, and realise you've met your match.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Mark Goninon, Oct 2017 - 'the perfect antidote to a world full of bad and sad news'</strong></p><p>This gem of a book is the perfect antidote to a world full of bad and sad news. A heart-warming story of one woman's discovery and connection to a what are a little-truly-known race full of adorable personalities.</p><p><strong>Amazon customer, Oct 2017 - 'often hilarious, always engaging'</strong></p><p>Merridy leads a peaceful, perhaps somewhat predictable life until she unsuspectingly comes under the spell of two seemingly innocent guinea pigs at the Hobart Guinea Pig Show. Then life changes forever. On a steep-enough curve to learn about caring for her ravishingly cute charges, Merridy soon finds that needs are one thing, demands quite another, especially when it comes to the pedigree cream boar, Hazel Pink-Ears. When she takes on her nephew's two pigs as well, the demands expand exponentially.</p><p>In this gentle, often hilarious story the author skilfully weaves the guinea-pigs' surprising personality traits and bodily functions into the lives of their human mother and her family. It positively glows with the pleasure of sharing life with much-loved animal companions. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates a good, cheerful read.</p><p><strong>Corrianne Lasevičius, Oct 2017 - 'a refreshingly different read'</strong></p><p>For those who're looking for a refreshingly different read, set a date to meet Merridy. Get drawn instantly into a most unexpected world. Merridy's art confesses from the heart, and this is where she truly shines.</p><p><strong>Danielle Wood, Nov 2017 - 'beating at the heart Merridy's book is a very big idea'</strong></p><p>Beating at the heart of Merridy's book is a very big idea - that the smallest of creatures can not only live very big lives, but they can also, if we allow them, expand our lives to extraordinary dimensions.</p><p><strong>Liz Pugh, Nov 2017 - 'full of love and tenderness'</strong></p><p>This little book is one to be savoured every night before you go to sleep. It is so full of love and tenderness that it fills the reader with the same, and every page has some happiness and humour which deletes the stresses of the day and you float into the beautiful little world of guinea pigs Hazel, Choklit, Chestnut and Little Spot. </p><p>Their adventures in the beautiful island of Tasmania with the loving Merridy and her friends are never-ending, and we look forward with bated breath to the next book of the trilogy, <em>Boars Behaving Badly</em>!</p><p><strong>Michelle, Amazon customer, Nov 2017 - 'a rare little treasure'</strong></p><p>This is a rare little treasure of a book, rather like the hero of the story himself, the most illustrious Hazel the guinea pig. I was smiling with every page I turned over and the illustrations done by the author are utterly charming.</p><p>If you're looking for a bedtime read that is completely different and guaranteed to make you fall madly in love with piggy-people, this is the book for you. Like it says on the cover, it is "A degustation of bedtime reading in digestible portions".</p><p><strong>Sheelagh Wegman, Nov 2017 - a 'charming little book'</strong></p><p>The average reader probably knows very little about <em>guinea piggus domesticus</em> a.k.a. the guinea pig. This charming little book will soon fix that.</p><p>According to one (ahem) 'independent' review, <em>Pig Tails</em> gives <em>'a new respect for guinea pigs. Hazel One-Eye is irresistible.'</em></p><br>
