A Short History of the World According to Sheep, by Sally Coulthard

A Short History of the World According to Sheep, by Sally Coulthard

I loved Sally Coulthard’s A Short History of the World According to Sheep! As a fiber crafter and life-long history buff, I found the book fascinating, well-researched, and entertaining. Coulthard explores the ways in which sheep have both shaped and been shaped by human civilization, from our first domestication of the animals to today.
