"The Shepherd is quite a simple story: A young pilot, flying home Christmas Eve 1957, when he experiences a catastrophic electrical failure that knocks out all his equipment,” explains author Frederick Forsyth of this bestselling Christmas story, written in a single sitting on Christmas Eve. “The last line is the twist in the tale.”
