Gloucester Cathedral and the King-Smith family are delighted to present an afternoon of celebration on Saturday 11 March 2023, to mark the centenary year of the birth of Dick King-Smith.
Dick King-Smith is famous for writing ‘The Sheep-Pig’, the novel which inspired the Oscar-winning film, ‘Babe’. His other heart-warming tales include ‘The Fox Busters’ and ‘Harry’s Mad’, as well as ‘Ambrose Follows His Nose’, an unfinished novel which his great-granddaughter Josie has recently completed and was published last year.
