Product Description

"I know", thought the pig. "I shall become an EXTRAORDINARY pig. I shall see the BEST in EVERYONE and EVERYTHING. I shall become THE PIG of HAPPINESS!" A charmingly illustrated allegory about a pig who got extremely happy and decided to spread joy after years of wallowing! The Pig of Happiness is a story about the metamorphosis of a grumbling farmyard animal into a beautiful smiling pig, who spread happiness to all his farmyard friends. Positively oozing with the delight of being joyful, this gently reminds us all to 'get happy'. Featuring animals as well as distinctly animalistic humans, Edward Monkton books are highly collectable and stylish gift books -- at home on a coffee table, in the bathroom, in quiet places, and perfect for giving to a loved one or for keeping for yourself. Each book in this new series is an original fable, charmingly illustrated,and created especially for this brand-new series of gift books. Hand-lettered in the same style as the Edward Monkton cards by the Really Good company, the books are wonderfully packaged with the utmost style and attention to detail to make these hugely desirable objects and perfect gifts for special occasions. These creations prove there is a universal and enduring audience for tales that inspire and touch hearts. Their philosophy is to heal, unite, amuse and delight in equal measures. 'May his JOYFUL SMILE remind us how much there is to be happy about.'

About the Author

Edward Monkton is a relative of Purple Ronnie, the other well-known creation of Giles Andreae. The three of them live together, philosophising and generally at peace with themselves and the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Happiness, 23 Jan 2004

By A Customer

I think this book is simply wonderful. It's a beautiful story about a very ordinary pig who decides to become EXTRAORDINARY by always being happy and seeing the best in everything. A short story that serves to remind us that happiness is infectious and
that we can choose in any moment whether to be happy or miserable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fab, fab, fab!, 14 Jan 2005

By A Customer

Sheer brilliance from Edward Monkton (even if he is just the purple ronnie man writing under another name). Takes about 5 minutes to read, but in that time will transport the reader into a better mood and make them laugh out loud. Silly, simple, or perhaps very wise - buy it and make up your own mind. By the way, a Lovely Love Story by the same author makes a great present for parents.
