Sinopsis de THE WATER HORSE
Dick's first book was The Fox Busters, published in 1978. One of the most prolific authors, he has now written over a hundred books. These have sold over five million copies in the UK alone and been translated into twelve languages. The movie Babe, based on The Sheep Pig, and the TV adaption of The Queen's Nose have spread this author's fame even further. Interestingly, while Babe inspired many cinema-goers to become vegetarians, Dick remains an unashamed omnivore. His most famous books are "farmyard fantasies" but he does write about humans too - check out George Speaks or Tumbleweed. Two qualities which mark out Dick King-Smith's writing are his delicious sense of humour and his belief in the ultimate triumph of the underdog. In 2001 Dick's autobiography, Chewing the Cud, was published to great acclaim.
