Mrs Robinson's class have a topic to do, so she puts her two naughtiest children together - clever that! The story unfolds around Agnes, a mean and bad-tempered goat with amazingly filthy habits, and Mrs Carpenter, a sad and lonely old lady who has the most unsuitable but fascinating stories to tell. A gorgeous story of someone's else's topic going all wrong and taking on a life of its own. I loved it!
