Dick King-Smith

    27. März 1922 – 4. Jänner 2011

    Dick King-Smith ist ein gefeierter Autor, dessen Werk von einer lebenslangen Liebe zu Tieren geprägt ist. Nach einer Laufbahn als Landwirt und Lehrer wandte er sich dem Schreiben zu und entwickelte eine besondere literarische Stimme, die er selbst als 'farmyard fantasy' bezeichnete. Seine Erzählungen widmen sich häufig dem Leben und den Abenteuern von Bauernhoftieren, wobei Schweine eine besondere Vorliebe darstellen. King-Smiths Anziehungskraft liegt in seiner bezaubernden Erzählweise und seiner Fähigkeit, fesselnde und unterhaltsame Erlebnisse für junge Leser zu schaffen.

      Freddie ist anders als andere Ferkel. Er ist kleiner und schmächtiger, und irgendetwas scheint mit seinen Vorderbeinchen nicht zu stimmen. Einen Mickerling nennen sie ihn, der nicht lange durchhalten wird. Aber da haben sich alle geschnitten. Denn Freddie strotzt vor Lebensfreude und besitzt noch dazu ein ganz außergewöhnliches Talent. Er kann nämlich schwimmen wie ein Fisch im Wasser! Und als er auch noch die ganze Schweinefamilie bei Hochwasser rettet, da ist Freddie ein Held.
