Five o’clock Charlie
Charlie is an old workhorse. His owner, Mr. Spinks, thinks he is too old to work, so he retires him and gives him a field that only grows chickweed and thistles. Charlie misses his working days. He misses especially the times when Birdie, the cook at the Boar Head Inn, rang the bell, telling that the apple tarts were ready, and the people would come to eat them, including Mr. Spinks. So, one day…
A cute book. Though a pretty quick read, it’s still a good book! I like it.
