A WONDERFULLY written book about the drovers of Wales during the 19th century. Cattle were driven from Wales to London, to the Smithfield Market during the summer months. A long and weary trail of cattle, men and women.
Jessie Price is happy to be travelling the drovers' road but her ambition is to raise herself from a milkmaid and to run her own dairy. For a brief while she succeeds but the man she loves is taken to Newgate Prison to face the death penalty for a crime he did not commit.
An enthralling story, another wonderful read from Iris Gower.
