The inquisitive and brave hedgehog Max, the most diligent of all the students, the school mouse Flora, the golden gosling that brings good luck, the walking encyclopedia parrot Madison, the world's first singing mouse named Wolf and many others - the heroes of the books of Dick King-Smith, one of the most famous and beloved children's writers, winner of the Guardian Prize for the book "Babe Pig", on which the film of the same name was made in 1995. In subsequent years, Dick King-Smith was awarded many more times with various prestigious literary awards and received the title of best writer of the year. His works have been translated into more than twenty languages and have already become classics of children's literature. Truly, “this is a writer who captivates readers of all ages and interests,” as one of the many reviews wrote.
