Uncle Trev's Teeth

Author: Jack Lasenby

The Rawleigh's Man!! Pennies, Shillings!! Agee Jar!! Kerosene Tin!! Primers!! This book is full of these names and I remember them from when I was a child!!
Uncle Trev's tales and wild ideas are admired by his nephew who is often sick in bed. Mum thinks that Uncle Trev should spend more time in looking after his farm than telling tales!!.
I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between mum and uncle Trev, who were brother and sister, and how the author drew on some personal experiences to make a tall tale.
