What to expect

John and Susan are back at Scatterbrook for the Easter holidays. Worzel, temporarily resident in the orchard, is up to his old tricks once again. Together the scarecrow and children embark on all sorts of escapades, which include Worzel getting stuck in a chimney and becoming a star attraction at the visiting circus. First published in 1938, More About Worzel Gummidge is the third of the Worzel novels by Barbara Euphan Todd.

Critics Review

Narrator Jessica Martin winningly delivers the third in the classic series about a scarecrow who comes to life. The warmly portrayed brother and sister – Susan and John – befriend Worzel Gummidge, who lives on Scatterbrook Farm. Listeners will be charmed by Worzel’s voice, which is whiny or friendly, depending on his mood. When he misbehaves, he becomes a traditional scarecrow and makes the kids take the blame. Martin is a natural storyteller as she amusingly recounts Worzel’s opening of an event, dressed up in an upper-class woman’s clothing, which he ‘borrowed’ from her. His snooty voice mimicking her is hilarious and makes a subtle statement about social class. These timeless stories are exceptional, and the conversations between the kids are realistic and worthwhile.
