As this special little bird gets older, her golden feathers turn to ordinary white, but the first egg she lays is a golden one – and she just goes on and on! At last, Farmer Skint and his family can enjoy good fortune and happiness. But what will happen if other people find out about his golden goose? A timeless story full of hilarious characters from the ever-popular Dick King-Smith.
