书籍简介

畅销书《牛的秘密生活》的作者：《羊的智慧》哀歌、有趣、温暖、睿智，将使乡村居民和城市居民都感到高兴。凯瑟琳：我们说人的行为像羊，这是假设所有羊的行为都是一样的。这不是我的经验。有些人很有感情，有些人则倾向于撞头。

有些人决心自给自足，有些人在需要的时候寻求我们的帮助。有些可以被信任带领企鹅群回家。他们和我们一样都是独立的个体。

我们对农场动物的童年故事很熟悉，但我们很少知道它们的内心生活充满了复杂性、深厚的纽带和家庭戏剧。罗莎蒙德·杨已经从事有机农业四十多年了，这是她在观察和保护风筝之巢农场丰富的野生动物的同时，对动物的召唤和召唤的生活记录。这是一个关于快乐、发现、合作和有时心碎的故事。

我们了解到羊会不光彩地变老，母鸡的智力被认为是“鸟一样的”，奶牛之间的“对话”，以及为什么挤奶时不要发短信……

“令人愉快的”。艾伦·班尼特，讲述奶牛的秘密生活

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SECRET LIFE OF COWS'Elegiac, funny, warm and wise, The Wisdom of Sheep will delight country folk and city dwellers alike.' KATHERINE MAYWe talk about people behaving like sheep, which assumes that sheep all behave in the same way. That has not been my experience. Some are affectionate, others prone to head-butting.

Some are determinedly self-sufficient, others seek our help when they need it. And some can be trusted to lead the flock home. They are as individual as we are.

Farm animals are familiar to us from childhood stories, but little did we know that their inner lives are full of complexity, deep bonds and family dramas. Rosamund Young has been an organic farmer for over forty years and this is her record of a life at the beck and call of the animals while observing and preserving the abundant wildlife at Kite's Nest Farm. It is a story of joy, discovery, cooperation and sometimes heartbreak.

We learn about sheep growing old disgracefully, the intelligence of supposedly 'bird-brained' hens, 'conversations' between cows and why you should never send a text whilst milking . . .

'Delightful.' ALAN BENNETT, ON THE SECRET LIFE OF COWS

作者简介

罗莎蒙德·杨是畅销书《奶牛的秘密生活》的作者，这本书被评为《泰晤士报》年度图书。她和她的哥哥理查德一起耕种，直到他不幸去世，现在和她的搭档加雷斯一起经营着风筝之巢农场。大自然被尽可能地留给自己，动物们得到了特别的善待和照顾。农场生产的牛肉和羊肉是有机的，草饲动物，在农场商店出售。

Rosamund Young is the bestselling author of The Secret Life of Cows, which was named a Times Book of the Year. She farmed alongside her brother Richard until his recent, untimely death and now runs Kite's Nest Farm with her partner Gareth. Nature is left to itself as much as possible and the animals receive exceptional kindness and consideration. The farm produces beef and lamb from 100% organic, grass-fed animals which are sold in the farm shop.
