Product description

Animal magic from a master storyteller. From Max the heroic hedgehog to a piglet who dreams of herding sheep, you’ll find all creatures great and small in these marvellous tales. No childhood is complete without the joy of a book or two (or lots more) by Dick King-Smith, who died in 2011. Seriously: this man understood animals so well we think he secretly knew how to talk to them. (He was a farmer for many years, after all.) His books will charm you, surprise you and teach you all about the joy of reading. And the joy of animals!

Classic animal stories by a beloved master writer

Ideal short novels for newly independent readers

The Sheep-Pig was the basis for the film Babe

Full of charm, wisdom and life lessons to learn

Dick King-Smith

Dick King-Smith was born and raised in Gloucestershire, surrounded by pet animals. After twenty years as a farmer, he turned to teaching and then to writing children’s books. Dick’s love of animals and farmyard life shines through in his stories. His gentle, accessible stories are ideal for young readers, blending humour and fantasy with useful lessons about life and the world.

Among his best-loved books is Babe, The Sheep Pig, which became a major film and was nominated for an Academy Award.

Dick died in January 2011, aged 88.
