Description

Dachshunds are supposed to be long and sausage-shaped, not short and plump like a dumpling. Dumpling wishes she could grow a long, elegant body like her two brothers. But when a witch's cat grants her wish, she becomes the longest dog ever!

Author description

Formerly a farmer and a teacher, Dick King-Smith is best-known for his third career as a writer. His phenomenally successful children's stories are marked by endearing humour and characters of unique depth and life. THE SHEEP-PIG won The Guardian Award and was transformed into the blockbusting film, BABE, which added hugely to his profile. Dick lives in Keynsham, near Bristol.
