Illustrated by
Ann Kronheimer.
Unlucky Farmer Skint and his family are about to sell Woebegone Farm when their goose lays a golden egg that produces a golden gosling. Joy's arrival heralds a time of prosperity, and the farm is saved. Even when Joy's lucky powers wane, the family's love for one another and the dear goose never does in this satisfying, humorous chapter book.
