Dick says of Clever Lollipop and its prequel, Lady Lollipop, "Each time I sit down to write an animal story, I say to myself, 'What sort of animal?' and I answer, 'Pig!' Then I say, 'No, no, you've just done a pig story.' So I have to wait. And I did wait. And then along came Lollipop!" Dick lives in Bristol.
