About the Books
Across these five volumes, Amanda Owen chronicles her extraordinary life as a shepherdess raising a large family at Ravenseat, one of the most isolated farms in England, cut off by road and reachable only by fording a stream. The Yorkshire Shepherdess opens her story, following her journey from a Huddersfield upbringing to a life devoted to sheep, hard labor, and the wild beauty of Swaledale. A Year in the Life of the Yorkshire Shepherdess moves through the farming calendar month by month, capturing lambing seasons, harsh winters, and the rhythms that dictate every decision on the land. Celebrating the Seasons with the Yorkshire Shepherdess turns toward the kitchen and the table, weaving seasonal recipes and food traditions into the fabric of farm life, showing how meals mark time as surely as the weather does. Tales From the Farm by the Yorkshire Shepherdess widens the lens to the whole household, spotlighting the children, the animals, and the small dramas that make up daily existence on the fells. Adventures of the Yorkshire Shepherdess rounds out the set with further stories of resilience, humor, and unexpected challenges met head-on. Together, the collection offers a layered, deeply personal portrait of a woman who chose an unconventional path and built a remarkable life from it. Fans of countryside memoirs, rural nonfiction, and stories of self-sufficiency will find this set a rich, rewarding read that rewards both cover-to-cover reading and dipping in and out at leisure.

About the Author
Amanda Owen is the writer and farmer widely known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess. Raised in Huddersfield, she left an ordinary upbringing behind for a life on the land, eventually settling at Ravenseat, a remote hill farm in Upper Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales. There she raised a large family while building a working sheep farm from the ground up, learning shepherding, lambing, and moorland farming largely through hands-on experience. Her memoirs have introduced readers around the world to the realities of hill farming, and she has become a familiar voice on television and in print for honest, unromanticized rural storytelling.
