Dick King Smith was inspired for writing a book when he was teaching a class and there was a story competition. When he went home for the weekend he first started to write books for fun but then he started to write them for a living. So I guess he owes everything to the school he worked in.
Dick King-Smith started writing in his 50s after retiring from farming. He published his first book, "The Fox Busters," in 1978 and went on to write over 100 children's books throughout his career. He continued writing until his death in 2011.
