English Pastoral: An Inheritance is a breathtaking Sunday Times bestseller authored by the renowned James Rebanks, famed for his previous work, The Shepherd's Life. This compelling narrative delves into the profound transformation of rural landscapes, captivating the hearts of nature enthusiasts and advocates for sustainable farming alike.

In English Pastoral, Rebanks shares his poignant experiences growing up on a Lake District farm, where he absorbed the wisdom of traditional farming practices from his grandfather. As he reflects on the land that once flourished with life, he presents a stark reminder of the challenges facing rural communities globally.

  • A beautifully crafted narrative: Nigel Slater praises it as "a beautifully written story of a family, a home, and a changing landscape."
  • An award-winning masterpiece: Winner of both the Wainwright Prize and the Fortnum & Mason Food Book of the Year.
  • Universal themes: The book navigates the near-collapse of rural landscapes while offering a hopeful vision for future generations.

Through rich storytelling, Rebanks eloquently explores our shared inheritance, lamenting lost rhythms of work and nature but ultimately celebrating resilience and renewal. This work encourages readers to reflect on their relationship with the land, fostering a dignified future amid adversity.

With accolades from esteemed literary figures like Alan Bennett and Helen Macdonald, English Pastoral transcends mere reading; it serves as a meditative journey into love, place, and the rebirth of our cherished countryside.

If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
