Life on the small island of Mallorca is entertaining and fascinating for Anna Nicholas, who moved her family to a rural mountain setting for a more mañana existence. But it's never simple. She pursues her dream of opening a cattery, is devastated by the abduction of her beloved toad, and becomes fixated with Myotragus, the extinct goat that roamed Mallorca in ancient times. Meanwhile, trying to cut loose from her PR agency and its clients in London and New York, she finds herself among nutty Russian models and amorous rock climbers. Hilarious, informative and brimming with memorable characters, Goats From A Small Island is a delightful tribute to Mallorca's rich way of life.
