Book Description
================
The author of the beloved number one best seller The Shepherd's Life 
returns with a stirring history of family, loss and the land over three 
generations on a Lake District farm. 
James Rebanks was taught by his grandfather to work the land the old 
way. Their family farm in the Lake District hills was part of an ancient 
agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, of pastures 
grazed with livestock and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. And yet, 
by the time James inherited the farm, that landscape had profoundly 
changed. The men and women had vanished from the fields; the old stone 
barns had crumbled; the skies had emptied of birds and their wind-blown 
song.
English Pastoral is the story of an inheritance: one that affects us 
all. It tells of how rural landscapes around the world were brought 
close to collapse and how the age-old rhythms of work, weather, community 
and wild things were lost. But this elegy from the Northern Fells is 
also a song of hope: of how, guided by the past, one farmer began to 
salvage a tiny corner of England that was now his, doing his best to 
restore the life that had vanished and to leave a legacy for the future.-
This is a book about what it means to have love and pride in a place 
and how, against the odds, it may still be possible to build a new pastoral: 
not a utopia, but somewhere decent for us all.
