The Sheep Stell

In The Sheep Stell, Janet White shares her evocative memoir of life as a shepherdess, highlighting her quest for solitude and beauty in nature. Spanning over two decades, her journey takes her from the Cheviot Hills of Britain to an uninhabited island in New Zealand, where she finds companionship in her flock of 200 sheep. After a harrowing experience forces her back to England, she continues her commitment to conservation and farming on a hill farm in Somerset. This memoir celebrates not only her courage and determination but also the deep connection between humans and the natural world.
