Dick King-Smith

    27. marec 1922 – 4. január 2011

    Dick King-Smith je uznávaný autor detských kníh, ktorého tvorba je hlboko zakorenená v jeho celoživotnej láske k zvieratám. Čerpajúc zo svojich skúseností farmára a učiteľa, vytvára pôvabné príbehy, najmä tie zamerané na hospodárske zvieratá a jeho osobitnú náklonnosť k prasatám. Jeho príbehy, ktoré hravo nazýva „farma fantasy“, sú navrhnuté tak, aby prinášali radosť a zábavu mladým čitateľom. King-Smithov osobitý prístup spočíva v jeho schopnosti vdýchnuť zvieracím postavám sympatické osobnosti a pútavé dobrodružstvá.

      From the beloved author of Babe comes the last of six stories about Dick King-Smith's most adored (human!) character, the inimitable Sophie, re-imagined twenty years later by the witty, perceptive paintbrush of the award-winning Hannah Shaw. Sophie would love to have a pony, but she doesn't think she'll ever be that lucky. She does get a lucky break, though, when Great Aunt Al invites her to Scotland! This charming, funny story beautifully captures the dynamics of family life and has been given a fresh, contemporary look by a talented artist.
