What Sheep Do In Iceland When Nobody's Around (2021)

What Sheep Do In Iceland When Nobody's Around (2021)

Brian Pilkington
2021
64 pages
Non-Fiction
Folklore

Every spring, Icelandic sheep are sent into the wilds of Iceland on a three-month summer holiday. There are, though, very few reports as to their activities during this time. Could it be that there is more to these woolly, dull-headed creatures, that stand and stare from the side of the road? Well, it appears there might be!

In this book, Brian Pilkington directs his familiar, irreverent style toward sheep behaviour, and reveals their hitherto unknown habits.
