For everyone who loves watching Amanda Owen and her family on Our
Yorkshire Farm, or enjoys reading her bestselling books, comes this
delightful and uplifting collection of her monthly Dalesman columns.
In Tales From the Farmby the Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda takes
readers on an evocative journey to Ravenseat, where she lives with
husband Clive and their nine children, not to mention their flock of
sheep, herd of cows, hardworking dogs and a formidable chicken called
Linda.
Covering events from 2019 through to early 2021, Amanda describes saving
the life of a newborn calf on New Year's Eve and watching, mouth agape,
as their livestock trailer was swept away by floodwater in March. Son
Sidney braves the wrath of Linda and husband Clive crafts an unusual
Valentine's Day gift. Eldest daughter Raven leaves the nest, headed for
university, while young sheepdog Taff and Tony the pony arrive at the
farm. As Covid-19 sends the country into lockdown, Amanda feels more
lucky than ever to live close to nature, finding happiness in the beauty
of the Dales and the unchanging routines of the farming year.
Illustrated with charming line-drawings throughout, this book is the
perfect gift for fans of the Owen family and a chance to catch up on
their adventures.
