Very fun!
Can‘t wait for my workday to be done!

I wasn‘t sold at first - as the narrative is quite choppy and one thing leads straight into another - paragraph by paragraph and I felt the content was so interesting I wanted to linger! From Roman armour to Icelandic jumpers, from child labour to condoms - this is the fascinating world history of the impact of sheep on society!
Having just spent the morning at a local livestock show - it‘s a no brainier that the tagged book has risen rapidly up my TBR and is my next read!
This was a brief, fun, historical tour through the lens of human interactions with sheep. I learned a bunch about our use of sheep products over time (specifically wool), and about lots of other tangentially related things. It's definitely in the vein as Harari's Sapiens and other human history overviews, but is told and constructed in a much more whimsical way. It helps to like sheep, or be interested in the nature of sheep farming.
