The Drovers Return -Summer in the Cevennes

on BBC Radio 4 FM

1/5. Would-be shepherd Richard Collins goes to France in search of the area known as the Cevennes. Planning on following the giant flocks of sheep on their annual migration from the plains up to the high pastures, he finds that RL Stevenson 's mistreatment of his donkey Modestine still irks the locals 130 years later. Adding insult to injury, the sheep decide to go into that strange trance state known as la Churree. Producer Richard Collins
