PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
John Lewis-Stempel is a farmer and 'Britain's finest living nature writer' (The Times). His books include the Sunday Times bestsellers Woodston, The Running Hare and The Wood. He is the only person to have won the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing twice, with Meadowland and Where Poppies Blow. In 2016 he was named Magazine Columnist of the Year for his column in Country Life. He farms cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. Traditionally.
I found this book not only pleasingly escapist but also nostalgic... the writing is vivid, lyrical and seductive... There's a romance to shepherding that is entirely absent from pig and poultry farming. * The Times * The Sheep's Tale is an important book on several levels... Read a few sentences out loud, wherever you are; everyone should know more about sheep. -- Rosamund Young, author of <i>The Secret Life of Cows</i> A book of brilliant authenticity. Lewis-Stempel's affection for, and empathy with, sheep springs off every page. -- Sally Coulthard, author of <i>A Short History of the World According to Sheep</i> John Lewis Stempel's paean of praise for our wonderful and unique breeds of British sheep ought to be widely read. Sheep and pastoral farming are coming under increasingly strident onslaught and they will need every ounce of support they can get if they are to survive into the future. -- Philip Walling, author of <i>Counting Sheep</i> This little book is both delightful and useful. * Country Life *
