Perfect Pairs: My Grandfather and My Grandmothers and I

Gilbert White, The Natural History of Selborne

James Rebanks, The Shepherd's Life: The first son of a shepherd, who was the first son of a shepherd himself, James Rebanks and his family have lived and worked in and around the Lake District for generations. Their way of life is ordered by the seasons and the work they demand, and has been for hundreds of years. A Viking would understand the work they do: sending the sheep to the fells in the summer and making the hay; the autumn fairs where the flocks are replenished; the gruelling toil of winter when the sheep must be kept alive, and the light-headedness that comes with spring, as the lambs are born and the sheep get ready to return to the fells. Reviewed by Ursula Buchan in Slightly Foxed Issue 53.
