Dick King-Smith

    27 marzo 1922 – 4 gennaio 2011

    Dick King-Smith è un celebrato autore la cui opera è profondamente intrisa di un amore duraturo per gli animali. Dopo aver intrapreso la carriera di agricoltore e insegnante, si è dedicato alla scrittura, sviluppando una voce distintiva che spesso definiva 'farmyard fantasy' (fantasia del cortile). Le sue narrazioni esplorano frequentemente le vite e le avventure degli animali da fattoria, con un affetto particolare per i maiali. Il fascino di King-Smith risiede nella sua incantevole capacità narrativa e nella sua abilità nel creare esperienze coinvolgenti e divertenti per i giovani lettori.
