About This Book

Two itinerant companions are unexpectedly pressed into service to manage a disputed flock after a weary sheriff appoints them receiver and attacher; comic episodes follow as they confront quarrelsome owners, an eccentric foreign shepherd, a patchwork tent that collapses, wet weather, meager provisions, and bungled attempts at herding. Told in colloquial, humorous scenes, the account traces their reluctant stewardship of sheep, the absurd interplay of local law and personal quarrel, and the practical humiliations and small triumphs of keeping animals and order with little experience or equipment.
