Summary
Spending their summer holidays with Farmer Braithwaite and his wife in Scatterbrook, John and Susan come across a particularly lifelike scarecrow in a nearby field. That evening, much to the children's surprise, the scarecrow makes an appearance in the Braithwaites' kitchen to warm himself by the fire. He is Worzel Gummidge and he is no ordinary scarecrow. His tendency to cause mayhem wherever he goes sparks a series of mishaps and adventures, often with hilarious results.
This is the first of the Worzel Gummidge novels, originally published in 1936. Later, the Worzel Gummidge stories were adapted for radio and television, ranking among the top 50 greatest British children's programs, with Jon Pertwee (Doctor Who) playing the eponymous scarecrow, with a dedicated following to this day. Our audiobook is read by the multi-talented Jessica Martin, who infuses the stories with verve and excitement.

Worzle Gummidge
Worzle Gummidge is a very imaginative, easy to listen to book with a story line that has the power to Enrique anyone of all ages. I would recommend this book to anyone between the age of 9 and 12 and maybe even and eight year old is they are feeling confident. This would be an ideal book for parents to listen to with children and has the potential to be listened to in the car with the whole family.
I gave the story a four star review as it is engaging and entertaining but is lacking a little bit of energy. The performances is a five as the reader is really very good making this book very easy to listen too and I did’t have to rewind any bits I didn’t hear, like k do with other books. So overall this book got a 4 star review :)

Any additional comments?
This is the sort of book that takes you back to when you were young, and life was exciting and magical. That's if you were born in the 60's...
