A Shepherd's Life
A Shepherd's Life
A description of life in Wiltshire at the end of the 19th century mainly on Salisbury Plain by someone born and raised in rural Argentina who came to England as an adult and found the solitude and disappearing farming ways he was used to back home. Well, nearly. Interesting anecdotes about the people, wildlife and farming focussing on one old shepherd's life stories. A way of life that has passed into time, at least in the UK. I bought it as mentioned in the book In Pursuit of Spring and mentioned around Shrewton where my brother lives. Interesting.
