Victoria Twead is a bestselling British author known for her warmhearted, humorous memoirs about life in rural Spain. Her book Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools is the first in a popular series chronicling her adventures after she and her husband Joe moved to a tiny mountain village in Andalusia. Twead writes with infectious good humour about the culture clashes, eccentric neighbours, wayward animals and unexpected challenges of adapting to life in a remote Spanish village. Her memoirs have found a huge audience among readers who enjoy stories of expatriate life, cultural immersion and the comedy that arises when well-intentioned foreigners encounter the traditions and rhythms of rural Mediterranean life. Twead's books have become bestsellers in the travel memoir genre, and the Old Fools series now encompasses multiple volumes chronicling different chapters of her Spanish adventure. Her writing is warm, self-deprecating and genuinely funny, creating books that are both entertaining and affectionate portraits of village life. The audiobook editions bring her charming, humorous Spanish village stories to listeners who enjoy travel memoir with warmth, humour and heart.
