Shepherds Life: A Tale Of The Lake District by James Rebanks

Now in paperback, the bestslling autobiography of James Rebanks, the first son of a shepherd, who was the first son of a shepherd himself and whose family have lived and worked in and around the Lake District for generations. Their way of life is ordered by the seasons and the work they demand, and has been for hundreds of years - sending the sheep to the fells in the summer and making the hay; the autumn fairs where the flocks are replenished; the gruelling toil of winter when the sheep must be kept alive, and the light-headedness that comes with spring, as the lambs are born and the sheep get ready to return to the fells.
