Description
Agnes's neighbours think her penchant for vegetable gardening a bit odd. Why, she never seems to sit down to a fish pie or a bit of roast beef. But when the dread pirate Captain Brisket arrives on her ship the Carnivore and begins causing mayhem, it is Agnes who saves her garden and the day. A quirky and slant celebration of vegetables!
