Pigling Bland had 7 brothers and sisters. 6 of them were sent to other places as they could all be feed. Pigling Bland was on his way to be find work on a farm when he meets Pig-Wig. Together they run off and dance. This is a long story for Beatrix with few color pictures. Beatrix was in a hurry when she wrote this story as she was getting married. It's nice enough.

I hadn't read this particular Potter story before, and though it's more substantial than most of them when it comes to story, it doesn't quite have the charm of the rest. I don't care that much about Pigling Bland or the idiotic Pigwig, and if any piglet deserved to be turned into bacon it is tiresome little Alexander. The whole litter is redeemed, however, by the fact that one of the piglets has been named Suck-suck. That particular detail is terrible and entertaining all at once.

A picaresque, picturesque tale of a pig turned out of his family farm home to find his way to market. Along the way he finds a mate.
