When a travelling fair comes to Scatterbrook, Worzel tells John and Susan the legend of a fair with an enchanted organ that sends humans to sleep so scarecrows can enjoy the rides without being seen.
Adventure unfurls in a rare trip out of Scatterbrook. Worzel gets to see a wild moorland and the spectacular white cliffs of Seashell that provide the backdrop to this story of friendship and belonging.
There's another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn't at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans.
Two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook and it's not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise he comes to life.
When a flock of choughs turns up at Scatterbrook Farm, Worzel is keen to seize the chance to scare such a rarely seen bird. But his plans are soon scuppered when a group of avid birdwatchers moves in.
