Answer: JK Rowling

Harry Potter-fame author, JK Rowling launched a children’s fantasy book to entertain readers across the world in October 2020. Her new book titled ‘The Christmas Pig’ had topped the bestsellers charts in the UK. ‘The Christmas Pig’ is a story about a young boy and his beloved toy, and it is written for kids aged 8-12 years. Rowling’s ideas for The Christmas Pig first originated in 2012.

Rowling had always wanted to write a Christmas story. She completed the book during the COVID-19 pandemic. She said that, due to the pandemic, “I was unusually aware of the need for human connection. I think that’s why I kept imaging it being read aloud while working on it, something I’ve never done with any other book.” She described the story as “about being lost and being found, about loving and being loved, about what stays with us and what falls away. It’s also about hope and endurance.”

Seven-year-old Jack has experienced quite a few ups and downs in his life– his parents’ divorce, changing houses and schools. All this while, his favourite toy Dur Pig has been his constant companion and a source of comfort. On a Christmas Eve when his new teenage step-sister Holly throws Dur Pig out of the family car, Jack is emotionally shattered. As he throws a huge tantrum he is given a replacement for Dur Pig– a Christmas Pig– whom he simply rejects. But Christmas Eve is meant to be a day of magic and hope. At night all inanimate objects come to life, from Jack’s clothes and toys to the Christmas Pig, who comes up with a plan to find Dur Pig! Together Jack and the Christmas Pig set on a magical journey in the Land of the Lost, where all lost things end-up going, in search of Jack’s best friend Dur Pig…
