About The Author

Ruth Janette Ruck

Ruth Janette Ruck wrote three much-loved memoirs about her Welsh hill farm Carneddi, which became a local tourist attraction in Snowdonia. Her books include:

  • Place of Stones (1961)
  • Hill Farm Story (1966)
  • Along Came A Llama (1978)

Her farm even featured in an ‘About Britain’ episode titled ‘The Lady and the Llama.’ Ruth Janette Ruck passed away in 2006, and her family continues to operate the farm today, though without the llama.
