I first read this book in my school library many, many years ago when I was about 9 or 10. I loved it then - I’m sure I borrowed it more than once. As an adult I sourced a copy some years ago but never got around to rereading it until now. I’m so glad I did! This story is still fabulous and I enjoyed it very much. Dick King-Smith is a brilliant storyteller.
