Book Synopsis
'Look out, the wild washerwomen are coming!' Once upon a time there were seven unhappy washerwomen, with far too much washing to do. When their voices aren't heard they decide to go on strike - and wreak havoc in the local villages. No one can control the washerwomen, until seven woodcutters, decide to try. But perhaps the washerwomen will teach the woodcutters a thing or two instead, and everyone might just live happily ever after...
