Official synopsis Publisher
“‘You can’t keep a pig indoors, Mother!’ But Mother couldn’t see why not. ‘Give a pig a chance to keep clean and he’ll take it, ‘ she said. Johnnie was only the runt of the litter, a little peppermint pig. He’d cost Mother a shilling, but somehow his great naughtiness and cleverness kept Poll and Theo cheerful, even though it was one of the most difficult years of their lives.”–Page 4 of cover.
