Produktbeschreibung
Welcome to the very unusual farming world of the Baileys and their contract with the mighty Kelloggs company which led to the family fortune. The story dates from the 1940s onward, and the young boys of the family get up to all sorts of scrapes and meet plenty of great characters from an Iranian Secret Policeman to local bobbies. The local bobbies are a particular source of amusement when they clash with runaway pigs and sheep and even get deluged with a load of Kelloggs' grains. The strangeness continues with exotic animals, ghosts in England and Wales, and even a stream that runs up hill and is very attractive to poachers. They are a family that clearly enjoyed life, and their stories will make you smile a lot.

Francis went on to have an interesting career in banking, the motor and caravan trades and even paper making. His interest in all things technical eventually led to him settling down to work in local government as an IT manager for many years. He is now retired and lives in Nottingham.
