Description
Charismatic David Kennard lives a life most people can only dream about. Farming on a spectacularly beautiful part of the Devon coast he has an almost telepathic bond with nature and with his working sheepdogs. His is a life filled with daily challenges, from the battles with wild Atlantic weather to the dramas of clifftop rescue, but it is also a life full of the richness of rebirth, and the Herriotesque delight in a way of life that has remained almost untouched by the modern world. Part diary, part homage to the countryside and the canine family that is so much a part of his life, David Kennard's extraordinary book is designed to touch the hearts and minds of city and country dwellers alike.
Author Biography
David Kennard's name has become a familiar one in the nation's media, featuring in the Mail on Sunday and Daily Telegraph as well as on the BBC's Country File, Radio Four and on his bestselling video, The Year of the Working Sheepdog. He lives in North Devon with his wife Debbie, three children Clare, Laura and Nick -- and, of course, his dogs Greg, Swift, Gail, Ernie and Fern.
