Packed full of snapshots of a rural lifestyle in steep decline, with wonderfully titled chapters including, Contentedness of Southdown Shepherds, A Sussex Shepherdess, Lazy Shepherds and an Exception, Sheep Farming in Cumberland, A Curious Usage in the Lake District, The Bone Eater, The Powers of the Collie, the Sheep Dogs of Ireland and many more including plenty of countryside folklore and a brand new introduction of sheep farming.
