Jenny Checkland, now married to volatile and eccentric artist, Russell, and mother to baby Joy. Should be safely free of her grasping and cruel family. Her chaotic life with Russell, Boxer the nervous horse, Marylin the noisy donkey, a bunch of Patagonian Attack Chickens, a snooty neighbour, Bill the insurance man who is courting the Checklands' housekeeper, Mrs Crisp, and a magnificent golden horse called Thomas who smells of warm ginger biscuits, and whom no one but Jenny can see. And then Jenny's dangerous cousin Christopher turns up with malice and greed in his heart, helped by Jenny's eveil uncle. Quirky and engaging, this is nicely narrated by Lucy Price-Lewis
