Bracken Books, Great Britain, 1993. Hardcover (Printed Boards). Good Condition. Originally published in England in 1910, this story of a shepherd, Caleb Bawcombe, describes life in the south-central English county of Wiltshire before the turn of the 20th century. It is a charming picture of pastoral life that often seems idyllic and simple when viewed from the present. Caleb Bawcombe is a fictitious name thought to represent one James Lawes, and the town in the tale, Winterbourne Bishop, has been identified as the town of Martin. Friends, family, and acquaintances are interwoven in Caleb's story, and the interaction between humanity and nature is highlighted, capturing life at that specific time and place.

This book is packed with information on the rural life of an earlier age but, first and foremost, it is bursting with life, intense and timeless. The central character is the shepherd, Caleb Bawcombe, whose real name was later revealed to be James Lawes, a shepherd of the parish of Martin, now a Hampshire village but then on the borders of Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset (Winterbourne Bishop in the book). Caleb Bawcombe, the story of his life and that of the people around him, provide a backdrop for a vivid procession of characters: shepherds and farm labourers, old men and women, the sheep and the sheep dogs who share their lives, the people who live on the fringe of the village - gipsies and poachers. The author's great writing gift knits all these desparate elements together and presents a realistic and intimate view of the Wiltshire countryside and of a way of life with its beauty,… Read More
