Overview
This three-book paperback collection gathers Amanda Owen's bestselling memoirs of life at Ravenseat, a remote 2,000-acre hill farm at the head of Swaledale in North Yorkshire. Readers follow Amanda, her husband Clive, and their large family through lambing seasons, brutal winters, and the daily grind of tending a working flock on some of England's highest, wildest moors. Written with warmth and honesty, the trilogy captures a rural way of life shaped by the seasons. It's a heartfelt gift for readers who love nature writing, farming memoirs, and authentic countryside storytelling.
About the Books
Across these three memoirs, Amanda Owen invites readers into the working world of Ravenseat, the isolated 2,000-acre sheep farm she runs with her husband Clive at the head of Swaledale. The Yorkshire Shepherdess opens the story, tracing Amanda's journey from a girl in Huddersfield who dreamed of shepherding to a farmer's wife raising a growing family on some of the highest, most inaccessible land in the Yorkshire Dales, balancing hard graft with the joys of motherhood and rural community life.
A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess follows the family through a full farming calendar, from being snowed in during winter to the frantic activity of spring lambing, summer haymaking, and autumn gathering, showing how the seasons dictate daily life at Ravenseat while the family continues to grow around it and new challenges arise each month.
Adventures of the Yorkshire Shepherdess widens the lens further, following Amanda as she takes on new projects and fresh challenges with livestock and weather while juggling farm work with raising her large family. Together, the three books form a candid, funny, and moving record of a working shepherdess's life, told in short, vivid chapters that bring the Dales' landscape, animals, and community to life for both countryside enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike.
