Bookroo's summary

Aunt Nancy lives happily on her farm until Old Man Trouble comes calling, determined to make her miserable. He dries up her spring and makes mischief at every turn, but Aunt Nancy is too clever for him. By claiming that every bit of trouble is just what she wanted, she turns his tricks back on him in this funny tall tale.
