About this product

Product Information

I am the luckiest man alive, because I get to live and work in the most beautiful place on earth- Matterdale in the English Lake District. When I was a child we didn't really go anywhere, except a week in the Isle of Man when I was about ten years old, and I never left Britain until I was twenty. Even now, years later, the best bit of any travelling is coming home.Bringing us into the world of shepherd's baking competitions, sheep shows and moments out on the fell watching the sheep run away home, James Rebanks interweaves thoughts and reflections on the art of shepherding with his photographs of the valley, people and animals that make up the daily life of the fells. A life lived by the three hundred surviving fell farming families, this is a book of photos and words filled with reverence and love.

  • Hugely enjoyable.

    An amazing book from a world class author. The photography alone had me wanting to dive into the car and drive their immediately just to take in a small slice. Alas we're in the middle of a pandemic and to do so would be careless at best. Still... a book to take you places for a short bliss filled while.

  • A delightful gift

    I wanted it for an elderly friend who's partially disabled. Something she'd find absorbing to help lift her out of the humdrum of daily living. And I'm delighted because she's delighted with this book. Beautiful pictures to look at. Compelling accounts of everyday working life in the depths of the hilly countryside tending assorted grazing animals. Well written, vivid descriptions.

    Beautiful photographs and very entertaining writing make this a brilliant introduction to the world of James Rebanks and his fellow Lakeland shepherds. It's an essential accompaniment to The Shepherds Life.
