About this product

Product Information

In evocative and lucid prose, James Rebanks takes us through a shepherd's year, offering a unique account of rural life and a fundamental connection with the land that most of us have lost. THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER Some people's lives are entirely their own creations. James Rebanks' isn't. The first son of a shepherd, who was the first son of a shepherd himself, he and his family have lived and worked in and around the Lake District for generations. Their way of life is ordered by the seasons and the work they demand, and has been for hundreds of years. A Viking would understand the work they do- sending the sheep to the fells in the summer and making the hay; the autumn fairs where the flocks are replenished; the gruelling toil of winter when the sheep must be kept alive, and the light-headedness that comes with spring, as the lambs are born and the sheep get ready to return to the fells.

Great book, beautiful prose.
Beautifully written prose describing the life of a sheep farmer in the Lake District of England. Such a surprising joy to read, this book was loaned to me by a friend. I wanted to read it again, so had to buy a copy to keep.

So very interesting to learn so much about the history of shepherding, and the variety and quality of sheep bred from a generational account.
