Saddlebottom

All the pigs on the farm were terrible snobs, but Dorothea was the biggest snob of the lot. Dorothea, an aristocratic Wessex Saddleback pig, considers it a disgrace that one of her children has the white saddle-shaped patch on his bottom, and not on his back. In fact, life doesn’t look too promising for young Saddlebottom – until he decides to run away from home. Then he meets a very unusual cat, and the young piglet’s fortunes change dramatically! Saddlebottom is by the creator of BABE the Sheep-Pig. ‘Even funnier than usual from the pen of a genius in comic animal fantasy.’ Books for Your Children ‘Another success… of all the animals he has chosen for his heroes, the pigs have proved the most memorable characters.’ Signal
