An upbeat, fun little history! I learned a lot - though I did have to re-listen often, because this is also a great audiobook to fall asleep to.

Charming! Loved chapter 9- knitting since I am obsessed. It got a bit repetitive at the end but nonetheless enjoyed.

I like how the author has focused on an animal we often consider as irrelevant. The relevance of sheep is incredible in the world we live in. And as much as I enjoyed this piece of micro history, I wouldn’t really recommend this to others. It’s a rather specific topic, with a variety of essays. Yet I’ve read plenty more interesting books before I’d pick this one up.
