Dick King-Smith
333 books311 followersDick King-Smith was born and raised in Gloucestershire, England, surrounded by pet animals. After twenty years as a farmer, he turned to teaching and then to writing children's books.
Dick writes mostly about animals: farmyard fantasy, as he likes to call it, often about pigs, his special favorites. He enjoys writing for children, meeting the children who read his books, and knowing that they get enjoyment from what he does.
Among his well-loved books is Babe, The Gallant Pig, which was recently made into a major motion picture, and was nominated for an Academy Award.
Dick lived with his wife in a small 17th-century cottage, about three miles from the house where he was born.

Henry and I actually listened to an Audible collection of Dick King Smith stories, of which this was one of the tales. I enjoyed this one and the Magic Carpet Slippers story, but the other two stories were a bit too short! The narrator was fabulous and it was the perfect way to kill a few hours on a long car journey.
