Read this as a kid and really liked it. ( )

Had this for a few years and still love it - brilliant setup, great rhymes, mad pictures, scary faces, flying tractors, over-theatrical characters. Can't go wrong. ( )

A 'seventies tale of how Middle England deflected the more unpleasant aspects of an invasion of unwelcome summer visitors by baking an enormous loaf and serving it with jam. It wouldn't happen nowadays. ( )
