The Egyptians worshipped them, the Romans dressed them in fitted
coats, the Christians made the shepherd synonymous with their
divine saviour. In Sheep, Philip Armstrong traces the natural and
cultural history of both the wild and domestic species of Ovis:
from the Old World mouflon to the corkscrew-horned flocks of the
Egyptians, to the 'Trojan sheep' of Homer's Odyssey, to the vast
migratory mobs of Spanish merinos - all the way to Dolly the cloned
ewe and the sheep-human hybrids of Haruki Murakami. Above all else,
Sheep demonstrates that sometimes the most mundane animals turn out
to be the most surprising.
