    Description

    Cove is proud to present these beautiful picture books by New Zealand author, Jennifer Somervell.

    Blowing up a cowshed, this farm tale really happened!

    In the 1960's and 70's it wasn't unusual for returned servicemen and their farmer sons in New Zealand to blow things up.

    For Jennifer and Margery, growing up on a farm in Hawkes Bay, blowing up the cowshed was a momentous event in their childood.

    Here the story is told just as they experienced it, vivid in detail, action and unforeseen consequences!

    Learn about how a Taranaki farmer invented a rotary cowshed which became the milking shed of choice in New Zealand and around the world.
