'This winsome story is sure to warm hearts and bring smiles.'
Publishers Weekly

Meet Ace, Babe the sheep-pig's grandson, who is destined for great things too.

Farmer Tubbs takes a real shine to one particular pig, so much so that he can't bear to send him to market with the other young pigs. Soon Ace is befriended by the farmyard animals including Nanny the goat and Clarence, the cunning white cat. Together they help Ace to find his place in the farmhouse, ousting Megan, the farmer's aristocratic corgi, from her queenly seat – the best parlour chair. But Ace is not the descendant of the Sheep-Pig for nothing! Fame is waiting around the corner ...

'Ace is an intelligent, lovable, unlikely pig hero ... King-Smith's delightful animal fantasy is lightly satirical, poking fun at human pretensions in the foibles of the animal characters.'

'Fresh characterisations and new plot twists prevent old concepts from growing stale.'
