Title: Big pig, Little pig - Book of the week Radio 4

I don't keep pigs, but the subject is a moving telling of the life of the 2 pigs, and their owners, leading to the pigs' ultimate conversion to pork!

I listened to this , quite enjoyable too. Its on the BBC i player if anyone is interested , the physical book I saw on Amazon was £9.99 , I don't know how much the radio version has been abridged though.

As you say RtB, almost certainly abridged for radio.  Radio 4 is great though for bringing us such stuff.  It was a really engaging insight into one small-holder's experience of caring for 2 pigs destined for the pot.
