Why is it called "Sam (a pastoral)"
What is "(a pastoral)" anyhow? The word 'pastoral' has several meanings, and all several apply to the "Sam" story.
'Pastoral' can mean 'An idyllic rural setting.' My book tells the story of city people who begin new lives in the countryside.
'Pastoral' can mean 'Relating to spiritual care or guidance.' 'Pastor' means 'a shepherd.' Sometimes a pastor is the minister of a church who cares for his flock. In my story there are many pastors, human and animal.
'Pastoral' is also a literary word, describing a poem or story about the lives of country people. They take place in places called 'Arcadia.'or 'The Forest of Arden' or even 'Eden.' There are usually some sheep hanging around. Sheep appear in cameo roles in "Sam."
Some famous writers of pastoral stories are Shakespeare, Spenser, Ben Jonson, John Milton, Virgil and Petrarch. Some composers of pastoral music are Beethoven, Mozart Handel, Vaughn Williams and Debussy.
