Cast
Here is another yarn about the simple-hearted, as well as the not so simple-hearted, rustics of Claybury, one of a series that has always vied in popularity with the same author's stories of the Night Watchman.
Once again Bob Pretty uses his cunning to score off his neighbours. This time his artfulness is concentrated on the winning of a gold watch offered as a reward for kindness to animals.
