AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Things weren’t too good down on Cowbail Farm! Mum and Sarah were hankering after a trip to the city, while Dad and Dave were in the thick of a big fencing job. Strawberry, the best milker, had gone on strike, the hens weren’t laying, the horses had strayed, and the lucerne crop was a failure! Then came the news that Dad’s ticket had drawn first prize in the lottery! From then onwards humorous situations develop in laughter-provoking sequence. Dad and the family arrive in the city determined to have a good time, see everything, and hang the expense!'
