Sad news today was announced as it was told by publicists that Dick King-Smith, the creator of the book that launched the famous movie "Babe". He had writtn more than 100 books featuring animals and did not actually publish his first book, "The Fox Busters" until 1978, when he was in his 50s. The book that started his greatest success was known as "The Sheep Pig" about a little pig that was trained to act and work like a sheep dog.
King-Smith is survived by his second wife Zona, three children, 14 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
He lived a grand life, and I shall leave you with a great quote:
"That'll do, pig. That'll do."
