Aileen Walsh begins off by telling the story of how this book Twelve Sheep grabbed her attention in a book shop in Oxford, where the image on the front cover seemed to wander (as sheep do) into her life. Today she gets an opportunity to speak to John Connell, the award-winning author, about his marvellous book.
