Old Drumble Lasenby, Jack A humorous and heartwarming story set in the small Waikato township of Waharoa in the 1930s. Jack Jackman is a young boy who wants to be a stock drover. He has a warm relationship with his parents and an old family friend, Andy the Drover, who each week drives a mob of sheep or cattle through the main street with the help of his dog, Old Drumble, and his horse, Nosy. All three become the boy’s close friends over the long hot summer holidays, and each week Andy tells him an even more amazing story of how Old Drumble has saved the day yet again, with each adventure becoming more and more absurd. A Baron Munchausen of the sheep mob, Andy’s yarns are delightful, funny and quixotic. For readers nine years-of-age and older. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
