From the plains of ancient Mesopotamia to the rolling hills of medieval England to the vast sheep farms of modern-day Australia, sheep have been central to the human story. Starting with our Neolithic ancestors' first forays into sheep-rearing nearly 10,000 years ago, these remarkable animals have fed us, clothed us, changed our diet and languages, helped us to win wars, decorated our homes and financed the conquest of large swathes of the earth.

I couldn't stop talking about sheep after reading
Revisado: 07-19-22
I was drawn to this book as a fiber artist curious about the wonders of wool and interested in perhaps keeping sheep one day. The history shared covers the globe and thousands of years giving a wide range of stories and facts of this early domesticated animal. From sheepdogs to scissors and shears, there is so much more to learn about sheep than I could have imagined. This was a great book to listen to for short drives, guaranteed to leave you with a snippet of information you can share when you get to your destination.
I finished this book 6 months ago and I still think about it almost weekly. Sheep are cute, sheep are beaut, sheep are soft and curly. Don Spencer, anyone?
