Library to celebrate local author

Residents campaigning against development on land at Woodlands Farm, Coalpit Heath, pointed out the link with children's author Dick King-Smith, whose book The Sheep Pig became the blockbuster film Babe. The late author's birthday will be celebrated at Winterbourne Library on Saturday 29th March when the "Dick King Smith Birthday Storytime " will be held from 2.30 until 3.30pm, with refreshments and cake.
