Shepherds of Britain is a book written by Adelaide L. J. Gosset that explores the lives and traditions of shepherds in Britain, both past and present. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of shepherd life, such as the history of sheep farming in Britain, the daily routines of shepherds, the challenges they face, and the traditions and folklore associated with their work. Gosset also includes personal anecdotes and stories from shepherds she has met throughout her research. The book provides a comprehensive and engaging look at the often-overlooked world of shepherds and their vital role in British agriculture and culture.1911. What the author chiefly felt in the work for this book was the deep-lying humanity of its subject, which reveals in the shepherd of real life, as clearly as in the shepherd of legend and history, the essentially regal qualities of insight and of sympathy. Divided into topics entitled: shepherd and flock; rarer phases of sheep culture and character; the shepherd and his dog; sheep-marks and tallies; wool harvest; care of wool, labors of the loom; shepherds' garb; shepherds' arts, implements and crafts; shepherds' pastimes; pastoral folklore.
