First Edition. These are three fun loving stories about adventurous pigs. Take a cast of improbable animal protagonists, from pigs to mice and dogs; add a dose of anthropomorphism, a pinch of human affection, and a sprinkling of adversity to overcome. The result is the winning formula in the books of British author Dick King-Smith, a man perhaps best known for writing Babe: The Gallant Pig, the book from which the 1995 Academy Award-winning film Babe was adapted. With millions of copies of his books in print worldwide, King-Smith has become a one-man cottage industry in children’s literature. “Helped by years of classical education in the best tradition of the English public-school system,” wrote London Guardian contributor Julia Eccleshare, King-Smith’s “stories have heroic resonances, as well as being written in perfectly shaped classical sentences, which makes them a joy to read—and especially out loud.” Eccleshare further remarked, “More than that, [his books] are written with the humorous, civilised view of human or animal interaction so reflective of King-Smith himself.”
