  4. Life history Dick King-Smith was born in Gloucestershire in 1922. His real name is Gordon but his parents called him "Dicky-bird" which was shortened to "Dick". He always loved animals and had lots of pets as a boy. When they were both 14, he meet Myrle, the girl who was to become his wife. They both bred budgerigars and have gone on to have a long life together where animals were never far away After school, he started as a farmhand, but was soon serving as a soldier in World War II. After the war, Myrle and Dick took over the running of Woodlands Farm, and they were farmers for the next 20 years. Dick says he was great with the animals but wasn't a very good business man and when they ran out of money, he took on several different jobs before he trained as a teacher. He taught 6 and 8 year olds, in a primary school for seven years, though perhaps not teaching the maths very well!

  5. His first book, The Fox Busters , was based on something which happened to Dick when he was a farmer, and many of his books feature animals. His most famous book, The Sheep-Pig , was turned into the film, Babe . He's gone on to write over 100 books but has managed to fit in a bit of TV presenting (with his dog, Dodo) as well! Some of the 100 books he's written include: The Invisible Dog Harriet the Hare Dodos Are Forever The Queen's Nose Saddlebottom The Witch of Blackberry Bottom
