'Warm and funny, this tale of a pint-size pig and the family he saves will take up a giant space in your heart' — Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink & Stars

‘What a consummate storymaker Nina Bawden is’ — Michael Morpurgo, author of Kensuke's Kingdom

Winner of The Guardian's Prize for Children's Fiction, The Peppermint Pig is a modern classic by Nina Bawden, beloved author of Carrie's War. Perfect for children aged 9+.


‘D’ya want a peppermint pig, Mrs Greengrass?’ Poll looked at the milkman, thinking of sweets, but there was a real pig poking its snout out of the milkman’s coat pocket. It was the tiniest pig she had ever seen.

It is a difficult year for the Greengrasses. Poll’s father has gone overseas for work and the family has to rely on the generosity of two aunts. After moving to a small country town, Poll struggles to settle into her new life and she just can’t seem to keep out of trouble! Everything changes when a clever, mischievous pig arrives. Can he bring joy and laughter back into their lives?
