What a wonderful book! Superbly illustrated and a genuine insight into the life of a shepherd. I have lent this book to friends who now wish to purchase one for themselves.

I bought this book mainly for the beautiful pastel illustrations after seeing it in an art gallery in North Wales. While on holiday in Wales I did not buy the book, being discouraged to do so by my husband. Once home in California, I searched the internet for it and found it here on ebay, even a signed, limited edition of the first edition. I was so thrilled and the price was excellent. I have yet to read it all,and that is a treat in store. This book is also a nice size, only about 8" x 10" I think. It is on good quality, slightly shiny, heavy paper and the reproductions look as though they are true to color. The author and illustrator, Keith Bowen,is a renowned Welsh artist and this copy actually includes a set of his Wintertime stamps designed for the Royal Mail and produced in 1992. With or without these stamps I would highly recommend this book both to artists and people with a love of the countryside; the life of a sheep farmer on the slopes of Snowdon is described in detail throughout the year, both in pictures and words.Read full review
