ereks mom Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'm sad to hear that. We just read "School Mouse" (again) earlier this school year. Loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 His Sophie books were amongst our favorites. His writing must have brightened many lives. What a wonderful legacy. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 He will be missed. We probably have more books by Dick King-Smith than any other author. If you haven't read his autobiography, Chewing the Cud, I highly recommend it. He was an extraordinary man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 So sad. His son is the vicar in the village that we last lived in, and his granddaughter came to our church for several years. We met Dick King-Smith at the queen's 50th jubilee celebration. He seemed a lovely man, and I know his family will miss him very much.
