Family Life - Birth, Death and the Whole Damn Things

Not everyone goes to school on a donkey, keeps an eage owl in the spare bedroom cupboard, or plays chess for the French Foreign Legion. But for the four Luard children, all this was perfectly normal. Luard's not-so-simple tale captures the spirit of bringing up four children as they travel across Europe, littered with anecdotes and a scattering of favourite recipes, This is a celebration of family life, tragedy, and a tale of a true heroine.
