Rosamund Young – The Wisdom of Sheep

Be transported to Kite’s Nest Farm and peek into the surprising private lives of some of our most familiar of animals.  A life-enhancing read from the author of the bestselling gem The Secret Life of Cows.

“We talk about people behaving like sheep, which assumes that sheep all behave in the same way. That has not been my experience.” 

Farm animals are familiar to us from childhood stories, but little did we know that their inner lives are full of complexity and family dramas. This is a story of joy, discovery, cooperation and sometimes heartbreak. We learn about sheep growing old disgracefully, the intelligence of supposedly ‘bird-brained’ hens, ‘conversations’ between cows and why you should never send a text whilst milking… 

Rosamund Young is the bestselling author of The Secret Life of Cows, a Times book of the year. Her farm is on the edge of the Cotswolds, where nature is left to itself as much as possible and the animals receive exceptional kindness and consideration.
