THE Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen is due to make a popular return visit to Grassington to sign copies of her new books.
The writer and presenter will be at the Stripey Badger bookshop on Sunday, October 25 when she will be signing copies of and talking about Cosy Bedtime Stories from the Farm and Christmas Tales from the Farm.
In Cosy Bedtime Stories from the Farm, the Yorkshire Shepherdess offers a glimpse into life on her real working farm, Ravenseat Farm, from the busy days to the peaceful moments spent in nature.
While the paperback Christmas Tales from the Farm is a heart-warming collection of real-life stories about all the countryside characters – both two legged and four – you'll find on and around Ravenseat Farm, and just how fun life can be when everyone mucks in together.
Bookshop owner Linda Furniss said: "Amanda Owen is now a regular at The Stripey Badger Bookshop and is loved by all our customers who come to see her - she chats to each and everyone of them.

"It will be so good to see her again. Her stories for children taken from her television show are so popular, especially since tales of all creatures great and small are so popular right now."
