About this listen
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.

©1949 Barbara Euphan Todd (P)2017 Naxos AudioBooksThe narrator is perfect and consistently voices all the characters, perfectly suited to them.
I have all the DVDs of the TV version, and I absolutely love the idea of a magical life of scarecrows coming alive in their own community. They have their own rules and systems to live by, all very liberally kept.
The only humans allowed to tap into this world are two children who grow to love him. I love the posh lady of the town who is only concerned with status and looks, so when Gummage crosses her path, it’s always sure to make for a funny situation.
I love that these stories were written in the mid-1930s to the early 1940s, so there are no nasty things to listen to. Just comical little stories to listen to while relaxing, ironing, or sleeping.
