The old shepherd of Salisbury Plain knew every fold in the down and every ewe in the flock. W. H. Hudson gathers a lifetime of shepherding on the South Wiltshire downs: the great empty plain, the market town, the villages, and the men who worked the grass. Lyrical natural history married to real pastoral labor. Walk the sheep country with the finest eye that ever crossed it.
