When young Elliot gets a labourer's job at Mr Evans's after being sacked
from a pig farm for liberating six of its sows, he thinks he'll have
even more opportunities to lean on gates or stare at fields. But his
best mate Spike keeps getting him into trouble, first by showing him
what is being grown in a tucked-away polytunnel, and then turning up at
his caravan's door with a van full of weed. As Elliot tries to help his
friend get rid of the hot merchandise, they find themselves at the
receiving end of a cruel cat-and-mouse game. A tale of adventure with as
many twists and turns as the enchanting Somerset landscape that forms
its backdrop, Two Cows and a Vanful of Smoke is, above all, a
celebration of the English countryside - full of magic, history and
superstition - where smoke is in the air, and where not all is what it
seems.
