Laura McNaughty Adventures

The lost and nearly forgotten years of 1950s childhood can be experienced as the author cleverly immerses you into their world. This is a real treat for any listener, young or old, who fancies a bit of time travel back to when kids could literally be kids. Laura McBean lives in the middle cottage of three with her brother Johnny and her mum, on the edge of Stokey's Woods. Laura was quite a mischievous girl when she was growing up, and that is how she got the nickname of Laura McNaughty.

Windy Corner is the fourth book in the Laura McNaughty Adventures series where Laura finds and rescues a little dog from the rocks after it was washed overboard from a passing yacht. She and her friends also enjoy a camping trip on the Conker, which is an island with an abandoned lighthouse, and they take two badger baiters who come into Stokey's Woods to dig out the badgers from their underground homes.

Laura and her friends meet Mystic Marge, the barge lady, at the local canal festival. One of Big Sue’s llamas becomes ill, and Blackjack, the travelers’ horse doctor, is called into action to save him. The bad-tempered canal lock keeper gets more than he bargained for when Laura and her friends get their revenge in the dark, cold waters of the harbor. And what ghostly phantom lurks above the organ in the village church?
