  Pigs have inspired writers from Ovid to Mother Goose and artists from ancient Herculaneum to contemporary Hollywood. These fascinating and often misunderstood creatures are presented here in some of the most beguiling, dignified, haunting, touching and ferocious images in photographs, paintings and sculpture, along with excerpts from poems and prose. With a lively introduction, anecdotes, aphorisms and history, this illustrated book explores and celebrates the phenomenon of the pig.
