'One woman's gloriously lyrical account of life and love as a
shepherdess' Mail on Sunday 'Janet White's unfailingly enjoyable
book . . . taps into a widespread feeling that we have become cut
off from the natural world' TLS 'An immensely enjoyable and
heartfelt book: it makes you want to run for the hills' The Lady
With an introduction by Colin Thubron As a child in wartime
England, Janet White decided that she wanted to live somewhere wild
and supremely beautiful, to inhabit and work the landscape. She
imagined searching the whole world for a place, high and remote as
a sheep stell, quiet as a monastery, challenging and virginal,
untouched and unknown. Turning her back on convention, Janet's
desire to carve out her own pastoral Eden has taken her from the
Cheviot Hills to Sussex and Somerset, via the savage beauty of
rural New Zealand. The Sheep Stell tells the tale of a woman before
her time; a woman with incredible courage and determination, truly
devoted to the land and its creatures. Evocative, unaffected and
profound, it is a lost classic. 'A book to share or even fight over
if necessary' Rosamund Young, author of The Secret Life of Cows 'An
extraordinary memoir . . . The Sheep Stell is pure joy, one of the
most moving books I've read in a long time'Philip Marsden, author
of Rising Ground 'This is a strange and lovely book, and quiet as
it is, it makes you gasp at the profoundly lived quality of the
life it so modestly describes' Jenny Diski 'A hymn to country
solitude, lyrical, unpretentious and deeply felt' Colin Thubron
