TODD, B.E.: Worzel Gummidge Takes a Holiday (Unabridged)
John and Susan are back at Scatterbrook—this time in May, though that makes little difference to the havoc caused by Worzel Gummidge and his fellow scarecrows, Earthy Mangold and Hannah Harrow. Unfortunate results ensue from their antics, including a swarm of bees invading the living room of Mrs Bloomsbury-Barton. Worzel also has a go at flying before coming down to earth with a crash.
First published in 1949, this is the fifth in the series of Barbara Euphan Todd’s Worzel Gummidge novels.
