About the Author:
Dick King-Smith served in the Grenadier Guards during the Second World War, and afterwards spent twenty years as a farmer in Gloucestershire, the county of his birth. Many of his stories are inspired by his farming experiences. He wrote a great number of children's books, including The Sheep-Pig (winner of the Guardian Award and filmed as Babe), Harry's Mad, The Hodgeheg, Martin's Mice, The Invisible Dog, The Queen's Nose and The Crowstarver. At the British Book Awards in 1991 he was voted Children's Author of the Year. In 2009 he was made OBE for services to children's literature. Dick King-Smith died in 2011 at the age of eighty-eight.
Synopsis:
Fitzherbert, half swan, half goose, becomes the bemused but contented pet of Queen Victoria. A worldly-wise water vole and a rather superior rat add to the fun. The author also wrote "Find the White Horse", which won the Children's Book Award for Middle Fiction in 1992, and "Dodos are Forever".
