Description - The Sheep Stell by Janet White

As a child in wartime England, Janet White decided that she wanted to live somewhere wild and supremely beautiful, to inhabit and work the landscape. She imagined searching the whole world for a place, high and remote as a sheep stell, quiet as a monastery - challenging and pristine... Janet has always tended sheep - first as a young girl in the Cheviots, then on an uninhabited island off New Zealand, with a bonfire as her only means of communication with the mainland. After a brutal attack, she was forced to leave her island and returned to England, where she married, became a smallholder in Sussex, and finally bought a hill farm in Somerset. Underpinning this account is Janet's attachment to the land, and her commitment to combine the principles of conservation with successful farming.
