Description
The Sheep's Tale: A loving biography of ewes, lambs, and rams through the seasons, offering a fresh perspective on these often-misunderstood farmyard animals.
Contrary to popular prejudice, sheep are among the smartest animals in the farmyard, fiercely loyal, and forming long-lasting friendships. John Lewis-Stempel shares the tales that only a shepherd can tell, revealing the traditional shepherd's calendar and the deep-rooted wisdom, ethical consideration, affection, and humour that goes into tending to his flock.
This book is a tribute to all the sheep he has reared and sheared, from gregarious individuals to sweet companions, offering a unique insight into the world of sheep farming and the special bond between humans and animals.
