{"product_id":"9781907448218","title":"Working with the Curlew: A Farmhand's Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWorking with the Curlew\u003c\/i\u003e, Trevor Robinson shares his enthusiasm and joy for his work as a shepherd on the moor at Great Whernside in Yorkshire, and later as a farmhand near Leominster in Hereford. A lovely environment, very busy and hard work with no lorries, no electric motors, and no tractors, just nature’s own sounds. He celebrates the intricate details of traditional farm life: selling rabbits at tuppence each, the village hop, sheep shearing, lambing, shire horses, haymaking, the warm welcome taste of tea on a snow-bound moor, muck spreading, cheese and bread making, trout-tickling, and killing the pig, a quiet job well done. During one severe Yorkshire winter, 600 sheep were lost, and he had to leave the job he loved. His new job in Herefordshire brought different skills: hedge laying, ploughing matches, haymaking, chain harrowing, and crop rotation, and inevitably, the arrival of tractor and combine harvester.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UIT Cambridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172786880752,"sku":"9781907448218","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781907448218_p0.jpg?v=1763618755","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781907448218","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
