Aus dem Tagebuch eines Schäfers an Englands Küste: David Kennard lebt mit seiner Familie, fünf Hütehunden und einer über achthundert Tiere zählenden Schafherde inmitten der faszinierenden Schönheit North Devons im Südwesten Englands. Sein ehrlicher Bericht bringt uns eine der ursprünglichsten Lebensformen nahe, eine Welt, die heute beinahe schon verloren ist. »Kennards Arbeit ist hart, und Schäfchenzählen ist für ihn nichts zum Einschlafen. In jedem Kapitel stecken neue Details über die Kunst der Schafzucht. Und über die Kunst, mit seinem Leben zufrieden zu sein.«Natur + Kosmos
