One of our favorite children's authors, Dick King-Smith, has passed away at the age of 88 and his obit was in the paper today. Author of "Babe" and hundreds of other children's books about animals, he worked as a farmer for 20 years before he trained as a primary school teacher. In his 50s, he wrote his first story called "The Fox Busters" about chickens taking their revenge on foxes. My children love his books.
Some of our favorite titles are:
Lady Lollipop
Ace: The Very Important Pig
Harriet's Hare
The Invisible Dog
Funny Frank
Mixed Up Max
Animal Stories
Mr. Potter's Pets
