Shepherd of Another Flock: The Charming Tale of a New Vicar in a Yorkshire Country Town

'A glorious book' Times Literary Supplement <\/p>

'Shh, new vicar might be listening . . .'<\/p>

As the newly appointed vicar, David was looking forward to working in the picturesque market town of Helmsley, set in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside. Admittedly, the vicarage - which dated back to the twelfth century - was extremely cold and damp. And not all of his parishioners were impressed by his new-fangled ways. But with the help of the irrepressible Father Bert, a retired cleric and one-time tail-end Charlie, David set about winning over the townsfolk.<\/p>

There was Lord Feversham, the local landowner, who at times bore an unnerving resemblance to Henry VIII; fiery Ted, a retired chef who had fought with the Polish Free Army; Frank, the singing shepherd, still working as he approached eighty, and redoubtable countrywoman Eva, a font of wisdom. All had stories of hardship and sacrifice, friendship and love. <\/p>

Charming and moving, Shepherd of Another Flock shows that faith, laughter and joy can be found in the unlikeliest of places.<\/p>
