The Yorkshire Shepherdess is coming to a venue not far from Powys later this year.
Amanda Owen has become a best-selling author and TV presenter since appearing on our screens on Our Yorkshire Farm and Our Farm Next Door, sharing an insight into life as a farmer and a mother.
And now, she will be visiting Oswestry's Booka Bookshop on Sunday, November 9 from 12pm to 2pm as she launches her first children's book, Christmas Tales from the Farm.
The book is a collection of festive short stories for readers aged seven to 11, inspired by Amanda’s real-life family adventures with her nine children at Ravenseat, their 2000-acre hill farm in North Yorkshire.
Featuring all of the animals that live at Ravenseat from sheep to goats and horses to chickens, children will love reading about the runaway reindeer who caused mischief on the moors, some very special chickens who needed a kind new home, and the clever sheepdog who found something lost in the snow.

"Winter, and Christmas in particular, is a special time of joy and adventure at Ravenseat," said Amanda, ahead of the launch.
"Whether that’s discovering animals who have come to the farm to shelter from the weather, like the barn owls, or the festive family traditions we’ve followed for years, like our own version of the Winter Olympics or when my sheepdog Kate and I had to play a chilly game of ‘hide and sheep’ in the deep snow."
The book has been illustrated by Becca Hall and is the first of seven fiction, non-fiction and picture books that Amanda will be releasing with Puffin.
