Life may be a highway for Tom Cochrane, but for Elizabeth Creith it's a rural road - down which she is probably chasing some escaped sheep. When she picked up an abandoned drop spindle in a house in Toronto, she had no idea where it would lead her.That "where" turned out to be a quarter-section of bush in the Canadian Shield, with dogs, cats, rabbits, goats and - oh, yes - sheep. Through the fencing, the lambing, the shearing and the inevitable little trip to the butcher, Elizabeth recounts, with love and humour, her life as a shepherd in the wilds of Northern Ontario. A listener and staff favourite in her post as "Shepherd in Residence" on CBC Radio's Richardson's Roundup, Elizabeth Creith has collected the letters she wrote for the show, and added many wonderful new ones.
Elizabeth Creith lives, writes and commits art in Wharncliffe, Northern Ontario. She wrote humour for CBC radio for ten years, and for a year was "Shepherd in Residence" on Richardson's Roundup. Her work has appeared in Odyssey, The New Quarterly, Ladybug, Threads, and Canadian Living, and online. She blogs about art and writing at http://ecreith.wordpress.com.
