{"title":"Dick King-Smith","description":"Dick King-Smith was born and raised in Gloucestershire, England, surrounded by pet animals. After twenty years as a farmer, he turned to teaching and then to writing children's books. Dick writes mostly about animals: farmyard fantasy, as he likes to call it, often about pigs, his special favorites. He enjoys writing for children, meeting the children who read his books, and knowing that they get enjoyment from what he does. Among his well-loved books is Babe, The Gallant Pig , which was recently made into a major motion picture, and was nominated for an Academy Award.","products":[{"product_id":"the-invisible-dog-paperback","title":"The Invisible Dog - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvents conspire to turn Janie's imaginary harlequin Great Dane into a real dog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrated in black-and-white.
