Each title in this series tells the life story of an eminent individual in simple language and with an array of photographs. Dick King-Smith is a huge figure in children's literature and one whom inspires much loyalty and love. He is a favourite not just in the classroom but is one of the few authors that children will spend their own pocket money on! The mixture of text and photographs tells about Dick's own childhood and what inspired him to become a writer of children's books.
