Description: A near Fine unmarked copy with complete dustjacket. 'Yan, Tan, Hethera' (one, two, three) the Lakeland shepherd counts his flock. Yan is an orphan lamb, one of three brought in from the storm to be reared by Hanna in the farmhouse kitchen, different from the start, she grows wilful and headstrong, impatient of the placid meadow flock, restless for the high fell. Her chance comes but the open fell in winter is no place for a lamb, yet strangely, out of tragedy, hope, life, purpose are born. The setting of the story is real and the wayward lamb has its human counterparts, and this is what gives the story of Yan a special appeal.Illustrated by Elisabeth Trimby.
