Dick King-Smith was a farmer and a teacher before becoming a writer. In this memoir we follow him through his various careers and are introduced to the eccentric cast of animals and humans that provided a wealth of material for his writing.
Reviews
Dick King-Smith's phenomenally successful children's stories are marked by endearing humour and characters of unique depth and life. King-Smith won the Guardian Award for The Sheep-Pig (which became the blockbusting film Babe), and this new farmyard-to-Hollywood tale will delight many.
