Welcome to the Matovich Farm, only a half hour's drive from the glamorous coast of southern California. Meet a pygmy goat who rides on top of a pony, marvel at flying lizards delivering messages, participate in a bloody rock-fight, sleep in a nudist colony cardboard box for two, witness the resurrection of a guinea pig, experience rattlesnake jewelry made before your very eyes, behold how a dead seal can save a family from a watery death... But wait, that's not all. Ducks, dogs, cats, tortoises, horses, chickens, two best friends, two siblings and two parents complete the picture and, lest you think it was all fun and games: thousands and thousands of flies. A wild childhood on an acre and a half of land. Come visit, won't you?

He underestimates the strength in her heart once love takes hold. This novel is comprised of words rooted in Anglo-Saxon (Old English) to tell a tale rich in Beowulf lore that will delight the ear as well as the soul.
