From the bestselling author of The Secret Life of Cows comes a delightful and enlightening book that delves into the enigmatic world of sheep. Elegiac, funny, warm, and wise, The Wisdom of Sheep will captivate both country folk and city dwellers alike.
Katherine May, the author, has crafted a wonderful antidote to the frenetic pace of modern life. In this captivating narrative, she explores the unique personalities and behaviors of sheep, challenging the notion that they all behave in the same manner. Some sheep are affectionate, while others are prone to head-butting. Some are self-sufficient, while others seek our help when they need it. And some can be trusted to lead the flock home, exhibiting the same individuality as humans.
Farm animals have been a part of our childhood stories, but Rosamund Young's book reveals a side of them that is often overlooked. Through her experiences as an organic farmer for over forty years, Young has documented a life at the beck and call of the animals, while also observing and preserving the abundant wildlife at Kite's Nest Farm. This is a story of joy, discovery, cooperation, and sometimes heartbreak. Readers will learn about sheep growing old disgracefully, the intelligence of supposedly "bird-brained" hens, conversations between cows, and the importance of not sending a text while milking.
The Wisdom of Sheep is a delightful and informative read that will appeal to anyone with an interest in animals, nature, or simply seeking a break from the stresses of everyday life. With its charming anecdotes and insightful observations, this book offers a fresh perspective on the world of sheep and reminds us of the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
