Orlando's sympathies are aroused by poor Mrs Butterfield who has difficulties looking after her tumble-down farm. He buys the farm and begins a campaign of repairs, but he is not helped by the farm animals who have settled themselves inside the farmhouse and refuse to budge. Once Orlando has sorted out all the animals who have been living inside the farmhouse, he, Grace and the kittens spend a wonderful year making butter, going to market, harvesting, lambing, and all the work of a farm. This book is especially based on Kathleen Hale's own experiences as a land girl in the First World War.
