The Abridged (and Protracted) Field Notes of the Adventures Across Barmy Britain of Dugald Bovinus III, Esq.

An Illustrated Chronicle of One Cow’s Journey Through Jam, Jests, and Geographical Regret


Dugald Bovinus III, Esq. is a gentleman cow (in tweed) (and wearing a monocle on occasion) who is an avid traveller and meticulous recorder of events that do not strictly require recording.

This first book, compiling his field notes, documents his progress across Britain, during which he encounters questionable infrastructure, excessive baked goods, and an alarming number of footnotes.

Format: Illustrated hardcover, paperback and e-Book (audiobook, possibly)
Audience: Older children and adults
Status: Hardcover in print - why don’t you have a copy yet?

“I was initially reluctant to publish these notes, having grave concerns about their relevance, accuracy, and biscuit-to-observation ratio.

Nevertheless, Mr. Bovinus persisted. The stains are his.”
— M. C. Tiddeworth, OBE - Editor
