THE WISDOM OF SHEEP Observations from a Family Farm

If it's possible to sing a love song to the land, this audiobook might be it. Rosamund Young narrates a series of sketches and essays about Kite's Nest Farm, her organic farm in England's Cotswold region. There is no overarching narrative beyond a respect for nature, but this approach makes the audiobook ideal for those who can't commit to long periods of listening. Her lyrical style adapts well to audio, and her delivery has a warm charm. The stories include how sheep communicate with herders and how cows communicate with each other. There also are nuggets of advice, such as don't text while milking a cow and remember that summer is all about preparing for winter. Young's earlier work was THE SECRET LIFE OF COWS.
