What I Don't Know About Animals. Jenny Diski uses her own life as a framework to offer an entertaining and rigorous examination of our relationship to the animal world.

Written by Jenny Diski. Lambs are either innocent and full of joy as in Blake's Songs of Innocence, or they are simply part of a production line for lunch. Or both. The author visits a sheep farm.

Read by Lesley Manville

Abridged and Produced by Jill Waters
A Waters Company production for 麻豆社 Radio 4.
