The Book on Chickens

by Lowell Davis

Overview

Davis’s familiar character-collectibles, Big Jack and Goldie, come to life in this enchanting, full-color story of two chickens in love. The clever, superbly illustrated story takes us through the courtship, marriage, and parenthood of a loving couple holding firmly to their traditional values. The story takes place on a farm in Southwest Missouri, “far from the big cities, snuggled in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains,” similar to the one where the author lives.

About the Author

Davis left the city more than fifteen years ago to build a 1930s-era farm in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. Changing from advertising art director to homespun whittler, painter, and sculptor, Davis escaped to begin his rustic life in Carthage, Missouri. An inductee into the Agricultural Hall of Fame and noted speaker on limited-edition collectibles, Davis continues his artistic trade of designing, sculpting, and painting for Schmid of Randolph, Massachusetts, and Border Fine Arts Studio in Scotland.
