Jilly and the shagsaga.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE (England); ENGLAND

The article presents information on the author Jilly Cooper and her book "Wicked." When one visits Jilly Cooper's home, a lovely old house at the edge of a picturesque Gloucestershire village, one can tell that one is in the lair of the book trade's most famous animal lover. The latest novel, "Wicked" published by Bantam Press, is coming four years after Pandora. The manuscript should have been delivered in December 2004, but in fact arrived 10 months later. Jilly also spent much of the past four years busily raising money as a patron of the project to erect a memorial statue for the millions of animals killed in wartime.
