Illustrations throughout, including title page. INSCRIBED by the author in blue ink to flyleaf. As New. Ben is a wandering sheep who helps his friend Tipsy, a lame skylark, to search for his balance and missing gene. Instead of finding what they set out to, they uncover many things that others have left behind instead. The other sheep think Ben is unnatural for talking to the birds, and searching all day; however, when a climber does not return, the flock soon change their tune. This copy is inscribed by the author in blue ink on the title page, with her note stating: 'For Brigid and Christopher | with much love | Sarah | 10.04.06.
