Also, Bel Canto was in my top 10 the year I read it (2010).
After reading Rebank's book, I also read A Shepherd's Life by W.H. Hudson - published in 1910, but mainly stories he got from a very old shepherd in Wiltshire, so really about pre-industrial rural life. The thing I liked best about Rebank's book was the linkage with a way of life that has vanished for most people in the developed world. Hudson's book was a reminder of the downside of that life for most people.
