Description:

Things have never been the same in the village since the evacuee arrived and the five boys mistook him for a Nazi spy. There have been a host of visitors: the Americans preparing for D-Day and a deserter hiding out in the woods. But it's the arrival of the Bee King who makes the biggest impression.

Synopsis:

Something strange is going on in the village. A dead pig is carried through the lanes in a coffin, a heap of signposts are buried in a field and a mummy walks the streets late at night, scaring the local ladies half to death. Things have never been the same since the evacuee arrived and the Five Boys mistook him for a Nazi spy. The village has had a whole host of visitors since: the Americans are down the road preparing for D-Day, a deserter is hiding out in the woods. But it is the arrival of the Bee King which makes the biggest impression. He is a law unto himself and has his own strange rituals, and the villagers fear that he is beginning to exert the same charm over their boys as he does over his bees.
