This special re-print edition of H. Cecil Sheppard's book "A Little Journey Among the Anconas" contains a treasure trove of information on the legendary Ancona chicken breed. Written in 1919 by one of the great masters of this breed, the rarity of original copies has brought forth the demand for this much needed reprint of this important historic work on Ancona Chickens. Included in this short text are the fine details on the keeping and breeding of these birds for pleasure, egg production purposes or for exhibition. One of the only books of its kind. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
