From the plains of ancient Mesopotamia to the rolling hills of medieval England to the vast sheep farms of modern-day Australia, sheep have been central to the human story.

Sally Coulthard explores the miraculous world of the earthworm, the modest little creature without whom life as we know it would not be possible.
