WHEN THE GREEN WOODS LAUGH
HERBERT ERNEST BATES
As Pop Larkin- junk dealer, family man and Dragon's Blood connoisseur- manages to sell a nearby crumbling country home to city dwellers Mr and Mrs Jerebohm for a pretty bundle of notes. Now he can build his daughter Mariette the pool she's long been nagging him for. But the Larkins' new neighbours aren't quite so accepting of country ways- especially Pop's little eccentricities. In fact, it's not long before an accident in a wobbly boat becomes an incident and Pop finds himself up before a magistrate. -
