«Thistledown Farm: Farmer John's Boots and Other Stories» is a collection of children's stories by David Evans in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Farmer John, a very peculiar farmer, is always getting into trouble: Myrtle, his muck-spreader, goes out of control and covers everyone in manure; he goes to Buckingham Palace in wellies to receive a knighthood and makes the Queen clean out his pigs' sty. His wife Wendy puts up with him with humour and knows that life at Thistledown Farm would be very boring without him.
Published by Non Basic Stock Line in January 2010.
Recommended for children aged 7 and up who enjoy humorous farm stories.
