WELCOME TO LAMBS QUARTERS,
MARSHA BOULTONS
VIRTUAL FARM

Marsha Boulton was the fourth woman and the first shepherd to receive the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humor. The Award-winning book, Letters From the Country, first published in 1996 chronicles Marsha's transition from "high heels to Wellington boots" and several sequels have followed. Her latest book, Wallys World: Life with Wally the Wonder Dog is published by St. Martin’s Press in New York as well as a dozen other publishers in a dozen other countries. You will find a copy in a bookstore near you or you may purchase signed copies of any of her books directly from Marsha through this website (See contact information below).

A former People- section editor at Macleans Magazine, Marsha now lives on a sheep farm in southwestern Ontario, where she also writes anecdotal Canadian history books (the Just A Minute series). She has been a contributor to the CBC Radio “Fresh Air” program  for a more than a decade and is the recipient of the YWCA's Woman of Distinction Award in Arts and Culture. Marsha Boulton is the the only Shepherd - Author listed in Who's Who of Canada. Presently, Marsha is working on an historical novel based on the 18th Century Normanite cult of Cape Breton's Reverend Norman McLeod. She shares farm chores with author Stephen Williams and can often be found out standing in her field with Wallys heir, Bullyhills Straight No Chaser - call name Thelonius Monk. Both she and Stephen miss Wally, who is buried on the farm next to the garden, very much..

NOTE: This web site will be hopefully in a state of constant flux. Marsha's Farm Store is not yet operational although you can view her various book covers and read a chapter from each from that page and of course, order directly from her.If you wish to buy signed copies of Marsha's books, you may contact her either by mail or e-mail and request the titles that you want. Eventually, the store will offer her books and other country stuff such as Marsha's very special Ontario Spring Lamb but not until we figure out how to do all that. Thank you for your patience.(June, 2008))
