DescriptionWhen Babe, the little orphaned piglet, is won at a fair by Farmer Hogget, he is adopted by Fly, the kind-hearted sheep-dog. Babe is determined to learn everything he can from Fly. He knows he can't be a sheep-dog. But maybe, just maybe, he might be a sheep-pig. Author descriptionFormerly a farmer and a teacher, Dick King-Smith is best-known for his third career as a writer. His phenomenally successful children's stories are marked by endearing humour and characters of unique depth and life. The Sheep-Pig won The Guardian Award and was transformed into the blockbusting film Babe, which added hugely to his profile. Dick lives in Keynsham, near Bristol. |
