Pig’s Progress

Description

This humorous all-age tale traces the adventures of Parsifal, the littlest of the Three Little Pigs, who puts his elder siblings to shame with his determination to build a house on solid rock. An uncanny helper, the Big Bad Wolf, arrives out of the blue. However, despite Parsifal’s determined start, he settles for a lazy lifestyle once his house has been completed and it takes an active invitation to the Health Farm to jolt him out of his dream world. At the Farm, he meets many interesting characters, like the bossy Catechism Cat and the slick Night Mare. Before long, Parsifal is caught up in a terrifying life-and-death adventure. The surprise ending poses the question whether, after all, pigs might fly… With illustrations by Adela Slomski
