An action adventure novel for the pigs in your life, with a diverse cast of piggy characters and settings, all written in their native ‘pig-speak’.

Journey with our heroes Pigaro, Porcus, Hamlet and Scrofala as they navigate the perils of international pig-spiracy and pork-terfuge, evade the evil wranglings of Snortimer and join the legendary warrior Sowcrates in the battle to save their home of Hogopolis.

The opening lines immediately plunge the reader into a tale of piggy thrills, spills and high-stakes scenarios:

“Oink oink, oink oink, oi oink, oink oink oink oink oi oink oink oi oink oink oink oink oi oink oink oink oink.”

The action will have lovers of the piggy-verse on the edge of their seats:

“Scrofala oink oink oink oink oink oink oink oink. ‘Oink oink oink oink, Pigaro?’

‘Oink'r oink oink oink. Oink oink oink oink oink oink oink, oink oink.’

‘Oink'r oink!’

Pigaro oink oink oink, oink oink ooooiink. ‘Oink oink oink oink oink oink oink oink? Oink'r oink oink oink!’”

Lovingly transcribed by children’s writer Douglas Caleb, this extraordinary example of pig-lit is Percy Hogg’s first novel and crowning achievement.

Reactions so far:

“Oink grunters, oink-oink, oink oink oink grunters oink oink snuf oink oink snuf oink oink oink oink oink oink oink.”

Marmaduke, Long Ashton Farm

“Snuf oink-oink oink oink oink oink oink oink oink oink oi oink oink oink oink oink oink oink oink – oink, oink oink, snuf oink.”

Big Daisy, Ebbu Vale Petting Farm

“Oink oink? Ooooiink oink snuf oink oink oink oink oink. Snuf oink oink oink oink oink oink.”

Charlie Pig, Hockley City Farm

This adventure is certainly not for the faint-hearted.

PLEASE NOTE: this is a novelty prank book, containing repetitive text written entirely in ‘pig-speak’: mainly “oink” with the occasional “grunt”, “snuffle”, “snuf”, “oi” and a rich variety of ‘piggy’ names for characters and places. Although ‘translated’ from an actual English manuscript, the text is nonsense to us humans.
