Those Magnificent Sheep In Their Flying Machine cover

Roald Dahl Funny Prize Winner, Peter Bently, teams up with Smarties Gold Award Winner David Roberts, in this rip-roaring wooly adventure.

The sheep on the hillside were munching away, Much as they always did, day after day, When suddenly something went ZOOM! overhead. “Let’s go and see what it is!” they all said. And so begins a ripping, round-the-world adventure as the sheep take to skies in a magnificent yellow flying machine…The sheep on the hillside were munching away, Much as they always did, day after day, When suddenly something went ZOOM! overhead. “Let’s go and see what it is!” they all said.
