With an eye for the strange and the archaic, Philip Walling, a former sheep farmer and barrister, recounts the story of sheep in Britain, their shepherds and owners, learns about their pivotal role in the past and confronts the present realities of farming. Along the way, he explores the artisan heritage of mole-catchers, stick-makers, tobacco-twisters and clog-wrights, in a country life parallel to modern existence, struggling to remain unchanged.

I placed order on 15/01 and finally received the correct item on 4/02. No correspondence from vendor - even though they initially sent the incorrect item. Which I still have and do not know how/where to return. Why should I have to chase and follow up to complete the transaction? I paid my money in good faith, to buy beautiful items, not to find more stress.. Painful
