Whether you loved Dick King-Smith’s farmyard fantasies, AA Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh stories or the tales of Beatrix Potter, bookshelves across the land groan under the weight of these dog-eared favourites, decades after their publication.

Here, we explain why the genre may need reinventing to reflect the harsh realities (well, some of them!) of life on most 21st-century farms. From AA Milne's Piglet to Dick King-Smith's Babe, farm animals appear in some of our best-loved books.
