John K. V. Eunson 
Sheep for Beginners 

For every one person in Scotland there is one sheep. But how many of us can say that we really know our fine fleecy friends? In this uncomprehensive and ill-informed guide to all things woolly, you will discover many facts and figures that will amaze and surprise ewe – there are things in here that even the most ardent supporters of a certain north-east of Scotland football team don’t know! Fascinating subjects include: Scottish breeds; Famous knitting patterns; Sheep in Scottish history; Dolly the Sheep; Sheep Desert Island Discs. Ewe will discover: The probability of a sheep crossing the road as a car approaches; How to find a good-looking sheep; All about the love that dare not bleat its name. Ewe will also learn the answers to some age-old questions such as ‘When exactly does lamb become mutton?’ and ‘Why mint sauce?’

A propos de l’auteur

Born in a land far away south of Faroe, JOHN K. V. EUNSON moved to Edinburgh in search of escalators and the chance to read a daily newspaper before 11 a.m. He works in an office which is lightly purple in colour and plays five-a-side football on Wednesdays. John has been interested in sheep since he was a child. His first ever pet was an orphaned lamb. He named her Tulip and looked after her diligently until she was eaten eighteen months later.
