The main character Gryllus, a talking pig, has just finished saving the world from utter chaos when, he decides he wants to become human once more. In order to do this, Gryllus has to set out to find Circe, the witch who turned him into a pig in the first place, and ask her to change him back. Sibyl, the ex-priestess, and Homer, the soon to be an epic poet, come along for the ride.
The Pig Who Saved the World won the Nestlé Bronze Award in 2006.[1][2]
