James Rebanks: Twitter's Favorite Shepherd

A sensation in the United Kingdom and in the U.S., shepherd James Rebanks has given us an eye-opening glimpse into a world that has not changed in hundreds of years with his acclaimed memoir, The Shepherd’s Life and with the stunning photos in his second book, The Shepherd's View. The son of a long line of shepherds in Yorkshire’s Lake District, Rebanks took a detour to Oxford only to return to tend the flock. Rebanks lives a modern life—he is active on Twitter—but one shaped by the ancient rhythms of land and climate, man, and animal. CHF associate artistic director Alison Cuddy joins Rebanks in conversation.
