A companion volume to Woolly Wisdom, this is another fresh 'take' on the current trend - kicked off by the bestselling Blue Day Book several years ago - for small, but attractively packaged gift books with international appeal. Many of the successful gift books in this genre to date have had an underlying serious message, e.g. Desiderata. However, as with Woolly Wisdom, Chewing the Cud's combination of gently ironic aphorisms and amusing photographs effectively creates an enormously appealing collection of humorous, yet intelligent observations on life today.
