“5.0 out of 5 stars  A lovely, cosy, village saga/mystery. I love this series of novellas. Fiction, but based on everyday life experiences: growing up, growing old, death, family, relationships. This is the third book in the series, and I found it absorbing straightaway. I was asking many questions as I read-would this happen/would that happen etc. I thought of possible scenarios-would I be right or would the author completely surprise me? She certainly did! It was fun sussing out things as I read, it really kept me guessing.”

Top 500 Amazon reviewer

“This is the second in the series about the delightful denizens of Sixpenny Cross, Victoria Twead's fictional village in Dorset. Like the first in the series, A Is for Abigail, this one is a quick and joyful read. A tightly written and expertly edited little book, satisfying throughout. Highly recommended.”

Victoria Twead is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Amazon bestselling author and usually works in her pyjamas.

Eleven years in a tiny, remote, mountain village in Spain, rescuing a vulture, and owning probably the most dangerous cockerel in Europe, inspired Victoria to write "Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools". Victoria and Joe next emigrated to Australia to watch their new granddaughters thrive amongst kangaroos and koalas. More joyous life-chapters are unwinding and subsequent books in the Old Fools series continue to pop up.
