«Worzel Gummidge» is a children's classic by Barbara Euphan Todd, published by OUP Oxford in paperback (224 pages, in English).
Susan and John spend very boring holidays in the countryside until they meet Worzel, a scarecrow who walks, talks and turns out to be a magician. Made of clothes and straw, half scarecrow and half human, Worzel wins the children over and shares magical adventures full of fantasy and humor with them.
Originally published in 1936, this 2002 edition includes the new illustrations by Tony Ross.
Aimed at young readers aged 7 and up and at those who want to rediscover a classic of English children's literature.
Barbara Euphan Todd was an English writer widely remembered for her ten books for children about a scarecrow called Worzel Gummidge. These were adapted for radio and television. The title story was chosen as the first in the publisher's new series, Puffin Books.
