'The author of Babe, the Gallant Pig offers another winner with this tale of a bright pig and her canny young keeper "training" a spoiled princess ... Move over, Wilbur.'
Kirkus Reviews

Dick King-Smith's timeless classic, Lady Lollipop.

Lollipop is no ordinary pig. According to her young trainer, Johnny Skinner, she’s the smartest pig in the entire kingdom. When people stare into Lollipop’s bright, intelligent eyes, it somehow changes them for the better. But can Lollipop win over the spoiled Princess Penelope – and her not-so-pig-friendly parents, the King and Queen? Dick King-Smith’s tale about a special pig – and some memorable humans, too – will delight his legions of loyal fans!

'A delightful fairy tale.'
The Guardian

'This is an author who is certainly due an award for his PR work on behalf of pigs. This story will delight King-Smith's younger readers.'
