Rebanks James The Shepherd's Life. A Tale of the Lake District
Some people's lives are entirely their own creations. James Rebanks' isn't. The first son of a shepherd, who was the first son of a shepherd himself, he and his family have lived and worked in and around the Lake District for generations. Their way of life is ordered by the seasons and the work they demand, and has been for hundreds of years. A Viking would understand the work they do: sending the sheep to the fells in the summer and making the hay; the autumn fairs where the flocks are replenished; the gruelling toil of winter when the sheep must be kept alive, and the light-headedness that comes with spring, as the lambs are born and the sheep get ready to return to the fells.

Joyce James A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
'I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.' Painfully truthful, James Joyce’s semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the coming of age story of Stephen Dedalus in the turbulent times of late 19th-century Ireland. Faced with the strictures of a traditional household and a deeply religious society, this classic tale brings to life Dedalus’s search for artistic freedom. Deeply emotional even today, Joyce's remarkable tale continues to offer great insight into family relations and the human condition.
