When Cow hears that she is going in a truck to never-come-back, her old friend Ratty knows that he must help her escape. They are joined by Woolly the tough, fierce lamb who doesn’t want to be lamb chops any more than Cow wants to be beef stew. As the three friends set out bravely into the unknown, they meet terrible dangers and kind strangers - and some who are not to be trusted. Told in Ratty’s own words, their amazing adventures make a wonderful story of courage and true friendship.
