Shepherd's life, paperback/w. h. hudson

Considered a classic at the time of its publication in 1910, A Shepherds Life is a rare account of the lives of those who lived on and worked the land in nineteenth-century rural Britain.

A masterful work of prose, W.

Hudson focuses on the story of one man, a Wiltshire shepherd named Caleb Bawcombe, whose tales of sheep dogs, farmers wives, poachers and local fairs become a sublime account of a way of life that has largely disappeared from these shores.
